Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity at the Met: Tourist Bait or Worthy Exhibition?
It sounds almost comically desperate, the new Impressionism, Fashion, and Modernity show at the Met, an exhibition dreamed up by the museum's marketing and accounting departments. Like uploading a video of "cats and giggling babies doing the Harlem Shake AND Gangham Style" onto You Tube in a guns-blazing attempt to go viral.
El Anatsui: Gravity and Grace Exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum
It's always nice to see the under-loved (and, to be honest, too-often underwhelming), Brooklyn Museum in NYC put on a great show, and Gravity and Grace: Monumental Works by El Anatsui is exactly that, a true crowd pleaser that's engaging, provocative, playful, joyous, sublime.
Jean Michel Basquiat Street Art at Gagosian Chelsea Art Gallery
We love pretty much everything about Jean-Michael Basquiat, his art and his story. The teenage runaway turned NYC street artist, in the bad-old late-'70s days. Putting his Samo tag everywhere downtown turned him into a stratospheric art star in the 1980s. His extraordinarily prolific career ending in an instant one night in '88, dead from a […]
New York City’s Best Skate Parks, in Downtown Manhattan
Any skater worth his deck will tell you that the whole city is a skate park, with wallies and ollies, inverts and flips, slides and grinds just screaming to be tricked in public spaces all over town, "no skateboarding" signs be damned.

Making Room for Micro Apartments at the Museum of the City of NY
Sizes of the New York Micro Apartments can vary, but they usually fall anywhere between 250 and 325 square feet. They seem to be a sure-fire trend in NYC real estate in the coming years, and could even change the market here for good.
Father-Son Art In Chelsea: Hauser & Wirth’s Newest Exhibition, ‘Dieter Roth. Björn Roth’
Dieter Roth, the Swiss-German artist who died in 1998 and explored themes of decay, rot, and impermanence throughout his long, wild career–food left to fester, found objects to molder–is, somewhat ironically, perfectly positioned to have his creative legacy not only live on, but also to flourish.
Canstruction NYC 2013 at Winter Garden through February 11!
Every year since 1993, Canstruction NYC has brought together some of the city's finest architecture, engineering, and design firms to construct elaborate, often playful structures made entirely from cans of food.
Inventing Abstraction; Abstract Art Exhibition at the MoMA
We take for granted that a piece of art doesn't have to be of something. In fact, abstract art is such an entrenched part of mainstream culture that it's hard to imagine a time when people wouldn't paint anything that wasn't representing a person, or an object, or a landscape in the real world. It […]
Grand Central Centennial; 100 Year Celebration on February 1st
There's no shortage of topics that New Yorkers are happy to argue about, from where to get the best bagels to who was here first for that cab to whether the Knicks are going to choke or actually make a run of it this year. But if there's one we all can agree upon, both […]
