Cheers..be well my friend.


It has been too long.

I spent much of yesterday looking for a new sculpture or perhaps even a new painting, so I had a great day. Cool

W + A, went to the Black & White Picasso show at the Guggenheim. Really amazing, and most were painted in one day. That is was even more amazing to contemplate...


Oh, well played fcs, well played. Perhaps the greatest grays ever painted are in these brilliant and alive works.

I assume Guernica was on view?

W+A, from your posts I know you are a Picasso enthusiast. In case you are visiting Chicago in the next few months, there are some featured items at the Art Institute. You may have already been aware of these, but I figured I would pass the info along.

Click.


Bill, thank you.

I'm indeed planning a visit to Chicago, and would not miss.

I went this afternoon. It was a pretty good exhibit, with artwork from many phases of his career. There was artwork on loan from many places, including MOMA.

I would love to have dinner with the group but I don't think I can make it tomorrow night. Hopefully some time in the near future.

Nothing outside of family gives me joy like art. Cool


Agreed, art is always a large part of my life, even though the type and style is unique to me.

Have in recent months been spending time with an amazing young lady who hails from central Russia. She has learned to survive, educate and adapt. Ahhhh, but art. Art....is a not a luxury, but rather something someone can only see if they truly look for it. Could be a fun journey.

Leonard Lauder, heir to the cosmetics fortune, has gifted his collection of cubist art to the Met. It includes 33 Picassos, 17 Braques, 14 Légers and 14 works by Gris and is valued at more than $1-billion.

“You can’t put together a good collection unless you are focused, disciplined, tenacious and willing to pay more than you can possibly afford,” Mr. Lauder said. “Early on I decided this should be formed as a museum collection,” and “whenever I considered buying anything, I would step back and ask myself, does this make the cut?”

VinT, the Met has long had a major and glaring hole in their great collection.

This missing link has now been satisfied with great gravitas. Cool
