Alexander Calder Mobiles and Stabiles: Calder 1941 Exhibition at Pace Gallery 57th Street
It was one of the great outpourings that the art world had ever seen: in 1941, Alexander Calder, having worked with his signature mobiles and stabiles for almost a decade, just exploded with creative innovation and energy, pushing his now-familiar form into new territory. Alexander Calder mobiles had bolder colors, a greater variety, and, thanks […]
Ice Skating (and More!) in Bryant Park 2011
We know that the great free skating rink in Bryant Park–aka, Citi Pond–has been open for almost a month already, but for us, outdoor ice skating season doesn’t really kick in until Thanksgiving week. Which is now. Which is why we went to Citi Pond a couple of days ago for the first time this […]
Andreas Gursky at Gagosian Gallery and Edward Burtynsky at Bryce Wolkowitz Gallery
We’re total fans of both Andreas Gursky and Edward Burtynsky, hall-of-fame photographers whose signature work over the years has been massive prints of huge and busy urban and/or industrial landscapes. As good fortune would have it, both artists currently have exhibitions in Chelsea: Andreas Gursky at the Gagosian Gallery on 21st Street, and Edward Burtynsky […]
Canstruction NYC 2011, Through Monday, November 21 Only!
Attentive Glenwood readers already know that we’re big Canstruction NYC fans, having gone to Canstruction in 2009 and Canstruction in 2010 at the World Financial Center. For those unfamiliar, Canstruction is an architecture/engineering extravaganza, for which some of the city’s top firms design and construct fabulously elaborate, often whimsical sculptural structures made entirely of cans of food. […]
Maurizio Cattelan: All, at the Guggenheim Museum
There are plenty of provocative, witty, and/or outrageous individual pieces of art in Maurizio Cattelan’s career-spanning (and, since he’s vowed to retire after it closes, career-ending) exhibition that just opened at the Guggenheim. Simply, aptly titled All, Maurizio Cattelan: All supposedly includes every single work he’s ever created. Cattelan’s show would be newsworthy and entertaining […]
Huge Chilewich Sample Sale in Midtown, this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday ONLY
There are always a dozen or so first-rate New York sample sales going on at any given moment in this town; the only real challenge to getting designer goods–usually clothing, but also accessories and such–at ridiculously low prices is keeping on top of all the offerings, and finding the time to wait on the often […]
New Amsterdam Market: Lower Manhattan’s Best Outdoor Food Market
We were more than a little excited when New Amsterdam Market set up shop in the South Street Seaport community a few summers ago, reviving the concept of the city’s great Public Markets which were once so prevalent but, for many obvious reasons, are rarely seen these days on the streets of Manhattan. With its […]
Now at the New Museum: Carsten Höller and His Three-Story Indoor Slide!
Carsten Höller: Experience, now at the New Museum on Bowery, is pretty much guaranteed to give you the most flat-out thrilling time you’ll have at any art exhibition this year. Which we guess isn’t much of a stretch, considering that, if you choose to participate, and sign a waiver exempting everyone from any responsibility for […]
High Line New York Social Soup Experiment was a Success!
We had such a great time this past Saturday at the High Line Social Soup Experiment, eating excellent bowls of soup with a hundred other people. Everyone was happy and chatty and seated at a long communal table. Sounds great, right? It was. And it was only $5 a person! Spearheaded by a group within […]
Uniqlo Midtown and Century 21 Lincoln Square: Two New NYC Clothing Stores
If you need to buy any sort of clothing for yourself or anyone you know between now and the rest of your life, a pair of massive new outposts of two of New York City’s best retailers are here to help: the Japanese chain Uniqlo, now on Fifth Avenue in Midtown; and the legendary designers-at-discounts […]
