Leisurely Art Filled Saturday Afternoon


So this is my very first post which is quite thrilling. I'd like to share a few shows that I checked out today. One show is at the Laurence Miller Gallery and has this amazing Philippe Halsman photo exhibit. Animated photographs showcasing Marilyn Monroe, Dali and others jumping with glee.  Next, I stopped by Howard Greenberg and saw 2 great shows- David Goldblatt and very early Henri Cartier Bresson prints.  I first became familiar with David Goldblatt in Madrid last year and saw his work once more at the New Museum last fall. Finally on to Deitch Projects for their very last opening featuring Shepard Fairey's work. The exhibit is titled "May Day" and showcases portraits of superstars such as Basquiat and Blondie. I started to think to myself how this would be an end of an era in Soho which is a little sad. Click here for more info and feel free to read my next posts where I'll take the nostalgic route of previous Deitch shows over the years.
