Ai Weiwei in Chelsea: “Sunflower Seeds” at Mary Boone Gallery
In April of 2010, renowned artist Ai Weiwei, one of the most acclaimed artists and activists of his generation, was detained/arrested/kidnapped by the Chinese government for 81 days. No charges made, no communication allowed to the outside world, almost-daily interrogations about his involvement in… well, we'll probably never know. EIGHTY-ONE DAYS! And this was a […]
Museum of the City of New York: the Greatest Grid & the Unfinished Grid
The too-often overlooked Museum of the City of New York, residing all stately on the Carnegie Hill stretch of Fifth Avenue, right across the street from the spectacular (and also often-overlooked) Central Park Conservatory Garden, has a terrific pair of free exhibitions going on all winter. One that history buffs, armchair city planners, and New […]
Gwyneth Leech: Hypergraphia, in the Flatiron Prow Art Space
Ever since the middle of September, Gwyneth Leech has sat on a stool within the base of the lovely, legendary Flatiron Building drawing on coffee cups. Five days a week, three hours a day (Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 until 2:00, to be exact), Leech creates often-intricate, sometimes quite colorful patterns and drawings on all of […]

Openhouse Gallery’s Park Here: An Indoor Pop-Up Park in Nolita
Openhouse Gallery’s Park Here: The Indoor Pop-Up Park was a favorite oasis of ours last winter, a surprisingly pleasant and comfortable place in Nolita to sit with friends and snack and chat, or to stop in alone and read or work or, yes, maybe take a little nap. You know: things you might do in […]
Met Exhibit: Sumptuous Art of the Arab Lands Galleries Now Open
It took more than eight years of rethinking, redesigning, and renovating, but last month the Metropolitan Museum of Art finally reopened their world-class Islamic art exhibits in the Art of the Arab Lands galleries, and the appreciation and acclaim for all of their hard work as been both universal and well deserved. By increasing the […]
Art in NYC: The Art Students League of New York

The Radical Camera: New York’s Photo League, 1936-1951, at the Jewish Museum
With its more than 140 photographs–often iconic, always engaging, and mostly taken on the streets of our beloved New York City, through the Depression, the War, and the post-war, ultimately red-baiting, years to follow–the Radical Camera exhibition at the Jewish Museum’s mansion-y home on Fifth Avenue would be a noteworthy addition to the season’s cultural […]
New York Museums: The New-York Historical Society Reinvents Itself
Founded in 1804, the New-York Historical Society is the oldest museum in all of New York City, beating out its across-the-park neighbor, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, by some 70 years; its vast holdings of artworks–more than 1.6 million pieces!–historical objects, and all manner of printed material, much of it quite rare, making it a […]
