head
Went to the Pratt Institute in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn, and I walked around their campus. This sculpture by Phillip Grausman stands out, especially in the gray of winter. It’s called “Victoria & Eucantha.”

martin puryear at MoMA

Went to Lever House a few times this season to see the Damien Hirst installation School: The Archaeology Of Lost Desires, Comprehending Infinity And The Search For Knowledge. It was stunning. The lambs in tanks are the “students.”
On view until Feb. 16 at Lever House Lobby Gallery, 390 Park Avenue

serra at MoMA
I’ve been impressed by the MoMA lately. The wall drawing in the main space and the Richard Serra exhibit were amazing (the Serra is a once-in-a-lifetime exhibit: I highly recommend it). Inside the museum, the second floor includes Serra’s newer work which is absolutely amazing, and the six floor presents a retrospective of his [...]
