I saw the Magritte exhibit at the MOMA yesterday. It was a pretty large collection of his works. Despite the crowds, it was a very worthwhile 2.5 hrs spent. I wish the narratives in the audio guide were a bit more in depth and more insightful about the use of recurring objects in his works. The exhibit ends today.

Very nice, DD.
Are you a fan of Giorgio de Chirico by chance?

Unfortunately, I can't say I am only because I am not knowledgeable of the Surrealist artists outside of the well-known names. It's kinda like saying I only drink Silver Oak and Opus One.

DD, de Chirico is well known. Not Dali, yet excellent.
If you enjoyed the surrealist from Belgium with the Bowler hat, look into de Chirico.
Magritte had great influence in the film industry as well, and you see such in films by Bertolucci, Luc Godard and others.
Rene also had great influence on the brilliant Miro.
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Wow, look at the connection between the Folk Art Building--which doesn't need saving and the travesty of the Barnes Collection kidnapping.

Excited for our art walk this Thursday here in Cabo. ( serious art town) We were mailed pictures of a number of works by Hoffman, de Kooning, Arnold, Gorky and others that we will see this week. 
Found several works by Frank Arnold that would work well in our room with Agusti Puig and Mimmo Paladino.
We may make an offer tonight.

Interesting article about hedge fund managers getting into the art world. Looks like they are motivated by pricing and making money more than acquiring art for art's sake.

A negative influence to an otherwise beautiful thing. Sure to f*** up the market for a while.That said, there are many 'works of Art' and excellent artists that will remain off their radar.

A slippery slope for sure.

Having visited this collection with you in its proper/intended setting, and understanding the travesty involved in the relocation, I have always been curious about your strong feelings regarding this.
Would you truly wish these works destroyed?

Completely and totally.
There is not a fiber of my soul that does not believe Dr. Barnes would not do it himself if able before allowing this to happen. The works were his, and his alone.
I have read much about Dr. Barnes, and this is his worse nightmare. To hell with the thieves.
I saw yesterday that Maurice Garnier died.
I had an interesting conversation with him in 1999. He was a fervent supporter of Buffet.

Just acquired a very colorful 1951 Proof lithograph (Madame de Pompadour) from Matisse and trying to figure out the best place to hang it. Anyone else a fan of Matisse's litho's?

IW, well played and thanks for the text photo!
A place to hang... the picture will give you something new and different each time you relocate it over the decades to come. Enjoy your new work of art from the second greatest artist of the 20th century.
I just hope I win the lottery tonight so I can go out and afford one of his oil paintings. Matisse excites the senses in way that a lot of artists simply do not do. I would also like to own a Turner. Even if you have the money finding one of his available is very difficult.

We will be in Miami in a few weeks, but sadly only for a few short days. Any must-see gallery recommendations?

Vin, Jorge will offer better insight than I will, but here are a few thoughts.
Miami continues to emerge as a serious art market with a true sense of edginess I enjoy. The Design District / Wynwood area has a few I enjoyed and even bought from. Several galleries are artist owned.
Castillo Gallery
Snitzer Gallery
Mitrani ( photography)
Wynwood Walls
Spinello ( can be very provocative depending on who is exhibiting)
Avant Gallery ( safe option in most cases)
As I said, Vin, Jorge will offer more insightful options.
Enjoy your time away from the brutal winter and buy something!

Thanks for the recommendations. Some of the gallery websites indicate what will be showing March 10-13, some do not. Wynwood walls looks amazing!
VinT, I just stumbled upon this.

w+a's recommendations are solid.
If you can get into town on Saturday, March 8th, you'll be here for our monthly art walk "Second Saturdays". This isn't some cheesy fufu art show, it's a really fun party-style night out with a bunch of open galleries, displays, artists-in-action, etc. for blocks and blocks. Very cool night out, my wife and I try to make it every month.
More importantly, the PAMM just opened last December, and it's stunning. Not to mention, the restaurant in the museum, Verde, is fantastic (Stephen Starr restaurant). The museum is a must visit, IMO.
Shoot me a note with where you're staying, who you're traveling with (wife, kids, friends, etc), and what you're into. I'll give you some suggestions.

Another trove of art found in 2nd home of Nazi-era art dealer's son
It makes you wonder how many other stolen pieces of art are out there.

Just put in an offer on a Francoise Gilot drawing.
We shall see...

It is a work from 1951 that I'm thinking about for our Santa Fe home.
We are both back in Dallas and a wonderful day and week ahead with highs in the 70's and sunny.
Today and tomorrow we will be enjoying the weather and The Nasher XCHANGE. This is a celebration of The Nasher being open for 10 years now. Ten artist were commissioned to create ten public art/sculptures works that were embedded withing the city, some where one might expect to find a public sculpture, and others where one might never expect to find such.
Needless to say, we are looking forward to our discoveries.

I personally consider this good news:
Banksy mural 'Kissing Coppers' and others don't impress at auction

I would love to see less of these types of pieces being sold. They were painted on the street...leave them there.
