Heavy Metal: Serra, Smith and de Suvero

Richard Serra@Gagosian Gallery

‘Heavy Metal’ master Richard Serra has done it again. I usually detest most post-David Smith rusted steel sculpture, but this latest show @ Gagosian just whets my appetite for the upcoming show planned for Spring of 2007 at MoMA. See photos of these heavy weight Serra sculptures (thanks to Brent Burket).

Turns out it’s ‘Springtime for Sculpture in Chelsea’ right now. The show of early steel sculpture by Tony Smith@Matthew Marks provides the perfect foil to the rusted surfaces and elemental forces of Serra with precise black geometric constructions. Just when you thought that there was enough strong sculpture here for an entire city in a few small blocks, you stumble upon that other ‘master of the momentous’:

Tony Smith@Matthew Marks

Tony Smith @ Matthew Marks: This is an unexpectedly great exhibit of the earliest large-scale sculptures by Tony Smith, a personal favorite of mine. Minimal but not boring or pretentious, these pieces strike the perfect balance between simplicity and complexity; complete unto themselves yet also complementing one another: this is a must-see show. Catch it before the summer heat drives the real art out of NYC.

Canonical Works of Modern Art

I stumbled upon this treasure trove of canonical works of modern art here, collected for a course at Columbia University.

Springtime for Klee And America

Paul KleeI don't know, spring seems like the perfect time for looking at the paintings of Paul Klee. Plan to visit the Neue Gallery to see the current Klee And America exhibit.

Whitney Biennial First Pass / Calling Marcel

Went to the Whitney ("the uptown bunker for difficult art") to see the Biennial yesterday for a quick run through of the first two floors or so...first impresions: "it's a 70's thang" as much of the art reflected, refracted and re-hashed imagery, attitudes and music from the late-sixties adn early seventies. In itself, this is not a bad thing, I liked the Dylan cover, the Miles Davis painting and several other pieces in the show. I plan to go back again next week to see a little more.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sturtevant's "The Brutal Truth" a sort of 'homage a Duchamp' installation which is essentially a re-creation of an entire suite of works by Marcel lovingly re-created...
Speaking of Marcel...
Calling Marcel : Bringing together artists and opportunities.
Check this out, I certainly will as soon as I get a spare moment.

Nan Golden's Suicidal Sister@ Matthew Marks

If you get a chance, check out Nan Goldin’s recent
multimedia installation @Matthew Marks. Be prepared
though; it’s tough to take. Not your typical
walk-through-the-park-on-a-sunny-day. Nope. Not Nan.
This is a 40-minute tribute to Nan’s older sister
Barbara, who committed suicide after a difficult and
rebellious youth.
Catch it before it closes on April 22nd if you dare...

This looks interesting and very savvy: a video re-creation of a famous painting: in this case Velasquez.
