Life imitates Art?

You know how there is always someone standing in front of a Jackson Pollack painting saying that it looks like a plate of spaghetti? Well often it can work the other way.

Some occasions of life imitating art:


Andy Goldsworthy on the Upper West Side?




Brice Marden for dessert?




Arman in a dumpster?




Excel spreadsheet or Agnes Martin?

Gray Matters

Basements. All big buildings have them. Subterranean symphonies of meters, pipes, metal and concrete--and gray. Lots and lots of gray.


They all manage to be oddly familiar ...


and creepy at the same time.


In this particular basement, I couldn't help thinking about ...


Giorgio Morandi ...




Brice Marden ...




and Edwin Dickenson.


These three painters know a lot about color --


and a lot about gray.
