Came for the Donald Judd exhibit while visiting NY for frieze and nada. Both the exhibition and space are spectacular, and highly recommended as a visit. My only gripe is that the security team is extremely overbearing. Be careful not the breathe too close to the art. I had taken some shots of Judd’s work in the first gallery on film, however while in the space on the lower level, I was told by security that photos from a camera were strictly forbidden and that I could only take photos on a smartphone. I told them that there’s no flash which is typically the justification, however I was told that it’s a quality concern. Apparently the gallery would prefer the public to use a smartphone rather than a dedicated SLR or DSLR with professional lense setups because the quality is clearly better. They don’t want the photos to turn out badly and then be posted online 🫣
I was excited to see the Cy Twombly pieces because he was the favorite of my favorite philosophy (we focused on aesthetics) professor at Wellesley College. The gallery begins on the 6th floor and continues down to the 5th, spanning 3 rooms. The reception staff is not especially helpful (or at all), and the security is downright rude, especially in the 3rd room. They demanded that I leave my bag on the floor unattended while I examined the artwork. On the 3rd floor, I wasn't even allowed to leave it within eyesight. The guard was downright condescending.
Uptown branch of Gagosian. Very nice modern gallery spaces. The Cy Twombly (1928-2011) exhibition was awesome. Some of his paintings actually reminded me of wallpaper by Wiener Werkstaette. Check out the nearby Neue Galerie if you don't believe me. I also loved the current Donald Judd show. Also not to be missed is a small show on Jean Prouve in the Gagosian Shop, which also has two nice Calders.
I absolutely loved this exhibit, it was only five minutes away from my job and I got to see lots of interactive paintings. There was also a gift shop connected with the museum but besides that everything else was free. I definitely see myself coming back soon.
Beautiful space and exhibit. I happened to stumble upon this gallery while walking down Madison (it’s very low profile and easy to miss) and would love to come back and explore in more detail. Besides the featured show there is also a gift shop with art related books and products. (Keep in mind proof of vaccination and matching ID are currently required to enter.)
DUINO ELEGIES until 11 april 2020 ...Medardo Rosso Kiefer Picasso Warhol...fantastic group show
Wonderful Desert Painters of Australia exhibit! The space is gorgeous + easily accessible
A serendipitous find on Madison avenue walking out of the Met - this was just what was needed to recover from the shortage of Picasso paintings currently in display there.
Having visited the Picasso museum in Paris just the week before it was the best find possible to satisfy the craving for this master's oeuvre.
The visit is free of charge.
The left most elevator will take you directly to the gallery. Make sure to get the outline papers at the entrance - there are no notes by the paintings.
This makes for quite a frustrating visit - there are no guides, just severe looking guards making sure you're not taking any photos.
Still, this is a free opportunity to see some of Picasso's best works of art and in an unique context - would not miss it.
