I am a hardcore introvert with a real aversion to crowds. During the Field Museum‘s behind-the-scenes event earlier this year, I ducked into a doorway in search of a respite from the madding crowd and found myself in the Marie Louise Rosenthal Library. It. Was. Amazing.
The above are images taken at the Milwaukee Art Museum exhibit “Van Gogh to Pollock: Modern Rebels,” which features more than seventy works from the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York.
Of particular interest at the Art Institute of Chicago last week:
■ Charles Ray: Sculpture, 1997–2014 (images above)
■ Jean-Luc Mylayne: Mutual Regard (no images in this post)
■ Jackson Pollock’s Greyed Rainbow, 1953 (image detail above)
■ The Honoré-Victorin Daumier “heads” (one pictured above)
■ Conservation Live: Francis Picabia’s “Edtaonisl”
■ Indian Art of the Americas (images above)
My family visited the Chicago History Museum yesterday, where we enjoyed “The Secret Lives of Objects” before experiencing one of the best museum tours. EVER. If you’re in the city, visit this treasure of a museum, and ask if Elizabeth will be leading any tours that day. She is a gifted docent.
