Shiny, busy, new art season
One of my all-time faves at the Met: in the Amarna area of the Egyptian wing.
One of the favorite things from the Lower East Side last week.
Shiny.

Dizzy.
Funny.
Fun!

Studio visit, gallery visit, Agnes DeMille
Studio visit with Macedonian-born artist, Irena Pejovic.

Sidewalk-fitti (seen in Ridgewood):
And, my extra-favorite:
Curb-fitti! Call them Street Interventions in the Narrowest-possible Space!
Gotta bend down to see that one—and not get run over in the process.
And, you’ve gotta look sideways to see this one: Lintel-fitti:

Most friendly art dealer on the “F” Train: Leslie Heller (?!)
Don’t you want art dealers to go out of their way to, you know, say ‘Hi’ and ‘Thanks for stopping by’ and stuff like that?

ArtInfo does Whitney Biennial pre-press Proper
This is the way I like my E-reportage: straight, link-rich, and ordered so well that I can understand it at a glance.
ArtInfo, with reporting from reporters Goldstein, Villas, and Russeth, do it nicely. (I’m guessing with a lot of help for the Museum’s super on-the-ball press agent, Stephen Soba.)
