Slash: Paper Under the Knife at the Museum of Art and Design NYC
Works on Paper at the MAD in NYC It’s only been open for a little more than a year now, but the Museum of Art and Design’s (somewhat controversial) new home on Columbus Circle in NYC has never felt more essential than with this terrific exhibition, Slash: Paper Under the Knife. This is the […]
Tim Burton at the MoMA
The MoMA's Current Exhibition: Tim Burton's Artwork Never have we waded through a more jam-packed gallery at the Museum of Modern Art than at this blockbuster show over the long Thanksgiving weekend. But now that the holiday-season hordes have gone back to their homes in Wichita and Osaka and Buenos Aires and Bruges, and […]
The Tenement Museum NYC
In 1863, on New York City's Lower East Side, soon to be the most densely populated place on Earth, the first of what would be almost 7,000 working class immigrant families settled into a brand new tenement at 97 Orchard Street. For the next 75 years or so they would keep coming, from […]

Robert Frank: The Americans at the Met
Robert Frank: The Americans, the Metropolitan Museum’s riveting exhibition to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Frank’s seminal book, also titled The Americans, will only be on display for a few more weeks, until January 3.

Unsilent Night NYC: This Saturday, December 12!
The fabulously festive Unsilent Night, composer Phil Kline’s annual boombox “caroling” parade through the East Village, has become as much a part the New York City holiday landscape as visiting Santa at Macy’s, or the lighting of the Rockefeller Tree. Well, maybe not… but we prefer it that way. Now in its 18th year […]
Urs Fischer Installation Artist at the New Museum
The New Museum is in one of our favorite spaces to see art in New York City. We love the building’s architecture, especially the way it looks, all blocky and stacked, as you approach it from Prince Street. We love the wide open gallery spaces, with their poured concrete floors, and all the graphic […]
Top of the Rock Observation Deck
The Rockefeller Center Observatory Experience When the Top of the Rock observation deck reopened in 2005, after a 19-year hiatus, we were among the first in line. And when we emerged out onto the three-tiered observation deck, on a cold but sparkling November morning, some 71 stories above our beloved city… well, it was, […]

Pop Artist David Hockney’s Landscape Paintings Five years ago, with his 70th birthday looming and an enormously successful career safely in his pocket, pop artist David Hockney left his long-time Hollywood home to return to England, and the East Yorkshire town of his childhood. And there, David Hockney, much to everyone’s surprise including the artist […]
Canstruction 2009 NYC: Open until Monday, November 23
Canstruction 2009, the latest–and, as usual, pretty sensational–iteration of what has become a great, pre-Thanksgiving tradition in our family, has for the second year in a row set up shop in the soaring, sun-dazzled Winter Palace in the World Financial Center. And while we still sort of miss the “treasure hunt” aspect of the […]
