The thing that is amazing about New York is that not only are there tons of great museums in Manhattan, but Brooklyn has its own museum--one that any city would be proud to have. It would be a little like, I don't know, the west side of Houston having its own art museum. Here are photos from a show,
Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists 1958-1968, I saw there earlier this month. (Did I mention that they have a very enlightened attitude towards patrons taking photos?)
Marisol, The Bicycle Riders, 1962, wood, paint, graphite, cast plaster, cast metal and plastic
Lee Lozano, No Titles, 1962, colored pencil and crayon on paper
Idelle Weber, Woman With a Jump Rope, circa 1964-65, plexiglass and neon
Chryssa, Cents Sign Traveling from Broadway to Africa via Guadeloupe, 1968, neon tubing and plexiglass
Idelle Weber, Nine Cubes, circa 1968-70, silkscreened lucite
Chryssa, Newspaper II, 1961, oil on canvas
So glad you enjoyed your visit to the Brooklyn Museum. Thanks for your comments and terrific photos of Seductive Subversion, Women Pop Artists, 1958-1968. It closes on January 9, 2011.
ReplyDeleteWow, the Brooklyn Museum PR staff is really on the ball! If you are in New York or going to be in the next 2 1/2 weeks, I definitely recommend you see this show.
