Jeff Koons at the Whitney

Transatlantic Dialogues at the MET

Lauren A Kaplan Art Tours

The Metropolitan Museum recently unveiled a novel installation, “Reimagining Modernism,” which highlights the interplay between Europe and America in the early twentieth century. Most histories of modern art focus largely on European trailblazers, and New York’s musuems have been all too happy to reinforce that notion.  This exhibition constitutes a sea-change by setting up provocative juxtapositions of European and American masters....

Kehinde Wiley and Basquiat

Lauren A Kaplan Art Tours

Kehinde Wiley is only 37, yet in his ongoing retrospective, he has set himself a lofty goal: to offer a “new way of seeing black and brown bodies all over the world.” By inserting ordinary African Americans into well-known Western masterpieces, Wiley highlights the absence of black subjects in art history and endeavors to correct the mistake. His bright, meticulously composed canvases contrast sharply with Jean-Michel Basquiat’s messy graffiti-based...

Frank Stella at the Whitney

Lauren A Kaplan Art Tours

For its first major retrospective, the new Whitney highlights the career of Frank Stella, who, at 79, still clings to abstraction and its many possibilities. In fact, according to the New York Times, “Stella has done more than any other living artist to carry abstract art… into the postmodern era.” Yet, by his own admission, he’s unabashedly out of step with contemporary trends. We will evaluate the truth of each aforementioned...

The MET Breuer

New York has a new museum! The MET’s wing of Modern and Contemporary art has just opened in Marcel Breuer’s former Whitney. The space has been restored to its 1966 splendor, and the inaugural exhibition is a true stunner. Dubbed Unfinished, the show attempts to answer the question: when is a work of art complete? Showcasing an array of “unfinished” works from the Renaissance to the present, this exhibition encourages new ways of thinking...
