fcs, they have worked with the likes of Hockney, Stella, Warhol, Rauschenberg, Koons and many other so I'm thinking all will work out. Wink

If you have never visited their exhibit in Munich you should do so if you have an opportunity.

Simultaneously with the major joint Getty/LACMA exhibit on Robert Mapplethorpe HBO released a documentary titled, "Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures." I found it really overblown. The theme of the exhibition, according to two curators, is to show the human side of the artist. Unfortunately the movie runs to the extreme with this and we find out, for instance, that Mapplethorpe in his pre-teens was a pogo stick master. For me the whole thing was semi-annoying.

I was reading this morning about the many exhibitions featuring Gordon Parks scheduled for around the world in 2016 and 2017.

I have long been a fan of this mans work and will make a point to attend one of the exhibitions.

I have always been curious about his long term love affair with Gloria Vanderbilt that only ended at his death. Oh my, what a fly on the wall heard over the last two decades of his life.

Gordon Parks, a true artist.

Can I play? Big Grin

The Answers:
Who is Koons? (100% chance)
Who is Cindy Sherman? (50/50)
Who is Warhol? (100%)
Who is Lichtenstein? (75%)


Ha, perhaps. Others I could see are...

Rauschenberg
Basquiat
Twombly
Johns
Ruscha
Haring

I'm impressed, three of the clues were a picture of an American flag, a comic book heroine, and a graffiti-style skull. So score you two out of three.

Then there's this dumb one: "Naming an L.A. artist is above Jeopardy! genius level, even. Trebek identified Under the Table as the work of Robert Therrien and then asked what literary characters it evokes, 'a man created in 1726 and a girl from 1865.' Correct response: Who are Gulliver and Alice?"

And now the one that's going to blow your mind, "The $400 clue was Warhol’s Double Marilyn. Host Alex Trebek didn’t ask for Warhol or Monroe but rather for the 'printing technique also known as serigraphy.' The correct answer was 'silkscreen,' phrased as a question, please."

So, I own one of the answers. Big Grin

We greatly enjoyed the Prado Museum. They have such a large collection of the greatest painter ( my opinion) ever. A modest museum with brilliant art.

We also spent hours at the Reina Sofia which is much more our style of art. The opportunity to view in person what is considered the most important painting to Spain by the greatest artist since the High Renaissance was worth the trip to Spain alone.

I felt the same way when there and experiencing this masterpiece.

I didn't know you thought so highly of Luis Quiles. I'm not even sure I would consider him the greatest Spanish artist, but his work is thoughtful. However, I always say to each his own.

OM, politics are on everyone's mind in Madrid. It is so screwed up they don't have any party in control currently as no party received the minimum seats required.

K, it was like the very first time I turned the corner and saw David. I just stopped in my tracks and was frozen.

Visited the newish Hauser, Wirth & Schimmel gallery in the fastest growing LA hot spot: The Arts District. The building is over 100,000 sq ft. with almost 30,000 of it dedicated to galleries. Located in a long abandoned flour mill it has been torn open and reconfigured into an amazingly inviting, and open, space. In addition the current show (which is not a retail show, but simply a "here we are" announcement) is a show dedicated to women in sculpture from the 50s to the present. Many of the works are on loan from 13 US museums including, MOCA, MCA, the Whitney, and the Art Institute of Chicago. The show ends in September and is HIGHLY recommended.

I was so sadden to see that Francois Morellet died during our holiday to Spain.

He was such a great artist and I was so pleased that France was having five different retrospectives of his work throughout France this year while he was still alive. ( it was well know his health was failing)

I'm also glad we bought two of his works that we so enjoy. My art consultant was a dear friend of Francois and pointed us to his work a few years ago.

R.I.P.
