We took a small hike in and around Tenero, Switzerland and stumbled about the nicest little museum I have come across in along time. It was just perfect with a clear voice and some of the nicest Ticino artists’ works . just a gem. Unfortunately, pretty much everything is in Italian, but that did not […]
I have been asked to take a look at this exhibition in Brno, and while it is not my usual exhibition to visit, I have to say I was rather impressed. First off, it is a stunning architectual important building. The building is in the expo-center in Brno. The building was completed in 1959 and […]
This is a question that has absolutely NO answers. I am bringing this up to begin a rational debate about how a not/non-profit gallery/museum/exhibition space can satisfy everyone and keep income flowing. It is hard enough in our politically correct world today to keep everyone happy. Is there a line, which should never be crossed, […]
I had the luck, and privilage, to be able to see this wonderful work before it comes down on the 29th July. The artist, Ernesto Neto, has created a public art work that fills the huge main hall of the Zürich Main Train Station. The amount of amazing work that has gone into building this […]
I have added the first names of the artists represented in this fantastic exhibition currently showing at the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen, Switzerland. I did this after talking with the head registrar at Beyeler, and somehow the confusion Bacon/Giacometti can bring. I personally do not see it, but it is a show worth taking a look. […]
What a wonderful thing to find a Haring after all these years. It is even better that it was behind aluminum cladding, as it probably is in better shape than had it been left to the elements. Well done!! Keith Haring Uncovered in Amsterdam Remko De Waal/EPA, via Shutterstock
What a gift the two directors (MoMA’s and NVG’s) have given the people of Melbourne, and for that matter, Australia. I am sure it was a logistical nightmare with couriers, packing, transports and insurance, but in the end it is all worth it to be able to see 130 MoMA works in Melbourne. I have […]
This convent is in the far eastern section of Switzerland, Graubunden, near the Italian border. The Convent itself is on the UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1983. I was not able to see the small chapel, as it is undergoing renovation – also the frescos behind the main alter are also hidden by walls. The […]
Rather interesting to see such a major movement of art, even if it is just across the river. I have been in this position of carrying priceless works from one side of the room to the other – a rather delicate and nervous feat. This has been taken to a whole new level. I also […]
This is worth a repeat. I applaud the Riksmuseum for attempting to bring notice to one of their most iconic paintings. I hope individuals inside the mall found it interesting, and maybe thought, why not take a look at the real thing. I think museums around the world need to be more creative in reaching […]
