The Tom Wesselmann retrospective was a spectacular color-filled show. The exhibit was filled with many large scale pieces. The laser-cut steel wall sculptures were stunning. The exhibit really showed that Wesselmann was a true master.
The Japanese woodblock prints were also quite impressive and showed a wide range of styles from a variety of artists.
After the museum I headed over to the Santa Fe street galleries. Saw some beautiful paintings at Spark and some great work at Sync that included paintings on mirrors and a clay installation. I stopped in Vertigo and got a chance to catch up with Kara who owns the gallery. She’s currently showing a very conceptually abstract show. It made sense after Kara explained the show. It was good to see Kara. It had been too long since we talked.
It was a fun evening filled with great art. It was my kind of Friday night.
I need to get cleaned up as Charles will be delivering and hanging a painting soon. More on this later.
Charles? Hanging a painting? Don’t leave us hanging like some bad art! Spill!
I love evenings like that and it’s been too long. Thanks for inspiring me to get out and check out some galleries again.
