Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City
One of New York City's great under-hyped little gems is Long Island City's Socrates Sculpture Park, set on a patch of Queens riverbank. The art here–large outdoor sculptures–is always fun and interesting, the setting unique, the atmosphere festive and communal, the views of the water and Manhattan's Upper East Side wide-open and fairly stunning. Recently […]
Yoshitomo Nara: Nobody’s Fool at the Asia Society Museum
We admit it: our expectations were pretty low as we walked into the Yoshitomo Nara exhibition at the Asia Society Museum last week. Not that we dislike the almost cultishly adored Japanese artist, a leader of that country's influential Neo-Pop movement… it's just that Nara's big-eyed, large-forehead-ed little girls (often threatening someone with a […]
Public Art in NYC Featuring Type on the Streets: Barbara Kruger at the downtown Whitney site and Twist and Amaze on Houston
One of the most exciting long-term New York City projects is the construction of the new, Renzo Piano-designed Whitney Museum downtown, which will stand at the southern terminus of the great High Line Park, on the corner of Washington and Gansevoort Streets. But just because the new Whitney Museum building won't be completed until, […]
DUMBO Arts Festival: Fun Walk-Around-in-the-Sun Alert, This Weekend!
The always-a-blast DUMBO Arts Festival has been transforming the cobblestoned streets of this Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass community into an excellent art party for about a dozen years now. If you've been before (all photos on this page are from past Festivals), you know how much fun it is to wander around […]
Lee Friedlander Photographs from America By Car at the Whitney
Photography hall-of-famer Lee Friedlander went on a lot of road trips over the past decade and a half, jumping behind the wheel of a series of nondescript rental cars, usually joined by a couple of long-time friends, and driving all across America to see what he could see. Of course he recorded it all, […]
Fashion Night Out NYC: THIS FRIDAY, September 10
It's all a bit much, to be sure, and more than a little shallow (let's celebrate shopping!!), but still… the increasingly sprawling, lavish, and heavily-attended Fashion Night Out NYC has already become an early-fall ritual here in the big town, especially if you're in your 20s or 30s, and enjoy things like free makeovers, crudite, […]
The Legos Store NYC: New in Rockefeller Center
Earlier this summer New York City's first-ever Lego Store moved into the heart of the Midtown Manhattan tourist district, opening a heavily-branded flagship store in the old Brookstone space in Rockefeller Center. Now, of course you can buy most everything Legos-related in a hundred places all over the city, as well as everywhere online. So […]
Leon Levinstein’s New York City Photographs at the Met
After most of the big summer museum exhibitions have closed, and before the crowd-pleasers of fall start making their appearance (Edward Hopper at the Whitney! The Abstract Expressionists–Rothko, de Kooning, Pollock, etc.–at the MoMA! Picasso and Matisse at the Guggenheim!), now is the perfect time to catch up on the smaller shows that we may […]
Otto Dix at the Neue Galerie New York, Last Chance: Closes August 30!
Otto Dix was a major part of the excellent Glitter and Doom show a few years back at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and his work also figured prominently in the MoMA's recent Dada exhibition. But this summer, the Neue Galerie in New York on the Upper East Side has been hosting the country's first-ever […]
A Met Fashion Exhibition: American Woman Closes After this Weekend
It’s definitely a little old-school Disneyworld, the Costume Institute’s summer-long crowd-pleaser of a fashion exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity, with its borderline cheesy lighting, background murals, and piped-in scene-setting sounds. But that in no way suggests that the clothing on display isn’t fascinating, and often eye-opening […]
