The Daily Beast writing about the Armory Show currently running in New York:
A Sam’s Club for Art?
Think of everything you like about the art experience: That it is meditative, complex, subtle, challenging; that it’s a refuge from the superficial, the pedestrian, the mercantile. The Armory art fair that opened this week in New York, like any other art fair, represents the opposite of all that. It is to a museum visit what Sam’s Club is to Goumanyat. The only thing it is good for is shopping.
This short piece was quite heartening to me. The words chosen to describe the art experience (from the Daily Beast no less) are all my kind of words—“meditative, complex, subtle, challenging; that it’s a refuge from the superficial, the pedestrian, the mercantile.”
More of that, please.
What a great photo and a great description of experiencing art. Thanks!
Great photo of Dave and the Diebenkorns (I’ve got several books on his work).
