From September 2008 to January 2009, the Tate Modern is featuring the work of Francis Bacon:
Quote:

Irish-born artist Bacon, widely regarded as one of the greatest painters of the 20th century, is known for his giant canvasses spilling out nightmarish visions and contorted bodies in their raw and fleshy glory. The Tate retrospective, arranged broadly chronologically, brings together approximately 70 of the most important paintings from the artist's turbulent life, including his portraits of Pope Innocent X and celebrated triptychs such as Three Studies for a Crucifixion. The exhibition will travel to the Prado in Madrid and the Metropolitan Museum in New York next year.

BAcon certainly explored all the aspects of the color red. I quickly tire of his work, as I do with work by Hockney. One or two pieces a year is my limit.

Theres a new chronological show of Cezanne at the Philly museum. I can walk and gawk at his work and be drawn in by each visit.

Spectacular Monet Exhibition

The Von-Der-Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, Germany, is preparing an exhibition on the works of French impressionist Claude Monet. Up to 100 paintings will be on display with most coming from the Musée Marmottan in Paris. Monet (1840 - 1926) is one of the co-founders of impressionism. Many of his masterpieces deal with garden in Giverny. The exhibition runs from Oct. 11, 2009 - Feb. 28, 2010.

Essen is the centre of (one of) Europe's cultural cities of 2010 (actually it's the whole Ruhr area).
Quote:

The New Museum Folkwang
http://i46.tinypic.com/t8xbh2.jpg
The new Folkwang Museum in all its splendour will transform Essen’s museums landscape once it opens the Capital of Culture year 2010. Funded by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, and penned by David Chipperfield Architects, the new design deliberately preserves the autonomy of the old listed building.

The new exhibition areas bathed in natural light continue its architectural tradition. The creativity that has gone into the design of the rest of the building is evident, for example, in the magnificent open stairway that will lead from the Bismarckstrasse into the new entrance foyer, the latter designed as an open inner courtyard with a café and restaurant, complete with a museum bookshop, and shielded by a glass façade looking out onto the street.

The Folkwang Museum owes its excellent international reputation to the outstanding collections of 19th century German and French paintings, Classical Modernism and post-war art. The photographic and graphic collections and the integrated German Poster Museum are also important components. Along with its large-scale public exhibitions, worthy of the international attention they attract, the museum's activities now focus primarily on contemporary art.

I'm really looking forward, however, to see the first special exhibition:

The most beautiful museum in the world

Quote:
“The most beautiful museum in the world”.
The Folkwang Museum to 1933.


Up to the 1930s the Folkwang Museum was regarded as one of the most progressive museums of contemporary and modern art in the world.

Under the Nazis the work of the museum was massively restricted, and it suffered severe losses from confiscations of works by so-called “degenerate artists”. True, the collection expanded to its previous high level once more after the war, but only a small section of the works that were lost were later repurchased. The museum’s spectacular collection, including works by Henri Matisse, Giorgio de Chirico, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Beckmann, Oskar Kokoschka and many others, will be reconstructed for an exhibition entitled “The Folkwang Museum to 1933”. In addition further works that were once part of the Folkwang collection and can now be found in major international museums, will be brought together in Essen once more from 20th March to 25th July 2010. Then visitors will once again be able to enter the most beautiful museum in the world.



Quote:
The exhibition "The most Beautiful Museum in the World" Museum Folkwang up tp 1933" is dedicated to the unique history and development of the Folkwang collection. The focus of the exhibition is on reconstructing the museum’s spectacular collection of works from before 1933. The collection was founded in 1902 by Karl Ernst Osthaus in Hagen. Shortly after his premature death in 1921, the collection was moved to Essen, where Ernst Gosebruch developed the Museum Folkwang into an institution of worldwide standing and reputation. During his visit to Essen in 1932, the co-founder of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Paul J. Sachs, commented that the Folkwang was "the most beautiful museum in the world."

Just as in Osthaus’ time, modern masters will be exhibited alongside sculptures and objects from China and Japan, Greece and Egypt, Java and Oceania - an inspiring starting point for the museum’s future direction. The exhibition runs from March 20, 2010 until July 25, 2010.

@Walter Hinteler,
So I've been today to the Monet exhibition.

It's really spectacular, just look at the list of museums which contributed their paintings ...
... and the additional exhibit "Vive la France" with paintings owned by that museum - Couture, Constable, Courbet, Rousseau, Delacroix, Manet, Degas, Cézanne, Sisley, Pissarro, Signac, Toulouse-Lautrec, Renoir, Monet - has been worth going there alone.

But queuing up for two hours [due to safety/security reasons, only 200 persons are allowed inside] in a rather wet-cold pedestrian area ...

@dlowan,
One place I missed when I was in NYC was MOMA (the older one, much less the MOMA PS1) - and the Guggenheim, which you probably know is fairly handy to the Met (and Tsar gave the show). I missed the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. I missed the American Museum of Natural History, which I regret. On the other hand, I went to the Met four times.

Hmm. MOMA is closed on Tuesdays. Hard to figure out what the future exhibits might be from their website, http://www.moma.org/

Cooper-Hewitt, part of the Smithsonian system. http://www.cooperhewitt.org/
Exhibit there through to Jan. 2011 - http://www.cooperhewitt.org/EXHIBITIONS/triennial/why-design-now.asp

AM Natural History - http://www.amnh.org/programs/
Looks like they're short term event oriented and the big pull is the permanent
installations.
Roberta loves the place, if I remember right.

Brooklyn Museum - http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/
http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/sanitary_fair/
Exhibitions: Healing the Wounds of War: The Brooklyn Sanitary Fair of 1864
through Oct. 17, 2010
http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/exhibitions/body_parts/
Exhibitions: Body Parts: Ancient Egyptian Fragments and Amulets
through Oct. 2, 2010

Then there are the long term installations, too many to link, but they sound wonderful to me.

Thanks, Walter, for the introduction to that. I seem to remember you posting on the Judy Chicago Dinner Party installation..
I'd probably like to see the Mummy Chamber..
from the website, it looks like I could spend four days there too.

PINTA, the unique Latin American Modern and Contemporary Art Fair in New York, opens on November 12th at its new premises on Pier 92 at the Hudson River.

After three successful editions in New York and a first in London last June, PINTA consolidates its position as a leading art fair in two world capitals, establishing new strategies in the Latin American art market and its diffusion, and becoming an essential part of the art world calendar.

This year, three sections will be presented at PINTA NY: the Galleries space, the Solo Exhibitions space, and the Art Projects Space, with selections by curator Pablo Leon de la Barra. 50 select art galleries from the United States, Europe, and Latin America will present museum-quality works representative of abstract, concrete, neo-concrete, kinetic and conceptual art, as well as of other contemporary art movements, in a renewed space for a wider public.

On November 10th, as part of the joint collaboration with the Americas Society, and its Direction of Visual Art leaded by Gabriela Rangel, PINTA has invited renowned Mexican visual artist Pablo Vargas Lugo to discuss his work with the public in a special panel discussion and dialogue with Yasmil Raymond, curator at DIA Art Foundation. Vargas Lugo has exhibited extensively in venues such as the Blanton Museum of Art; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA); the Museo Carrillo Gil; the Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) PS1.

PINTA NY 2010 has organized a first-rate academic program with the generous support of MBA LAZARD, sponsors of PINTA's exclusive, state-of-the-art auditorium for special conferences and gatherings. PINTA NY's new location also boasts VIP lounges, as well as improved restaurant amenities to offer visitors an enhanced and more enjoyable experience during the three-day event.

PINTA and its one-of-a-kind, strategic alliance with museums for the acquisition of art

As part of a strategy to help museums acquire Latin American art for their collections, PINTA has created The PINTA Museum Acquisitions Program to contribute funds to major museums committed to Latin American art. The PINTA Museum Acquisitions Program has been a decisive factor in the significant global re-reading of Latin American art, to which PINTA has contributed greatly since its first NY edition in 2007.

This unique approach creates an incentive for institutional commitment toward the acquisition of works exhibited in participating galleries at the fair. In this way, during the celebration of PINTA, museums committed to modern and contemporary Latin American art are given the opportunity to enrich their collections with new works. To this date, PINTA has facilitated $250,000 through its network of sponsor friends to activate a matching funds system. Invited museums match the contributions made through PINTA in order to purchase works of Latin American art during the editions of the fair.

In the previous edition of PINTA NY, the Museo del Barrio of New York added to its collection works by Carlos Karcamo, Fanny Sanin and Milagros de la Torre; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston acquired works by Liliana Porter; the Museo Tamayo also chose a piece by this artist and a work by David Lamelas; likewise, the Harvard Art Museums enhanced its collection with a work by Victor Grippo; the Pinacoteca Sao Paulo acquired a piece by Hermelindo Fiamminghi; the Tate Modern chose Horacio Zabala; and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston purchased a work by Pedro Costigliolo. Other institutions like the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York have lent their support to this fair, which has redefined the vision of Latin American art, and have acquired important works in its previous editions.

At the recent debut of PINTA LONDON, the prestigious institutions that participated in the PINTA Museum Acquisitions Program included: the Tate Modern; the University of Essex Collection of Latin American Art; the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona (MACBA); and the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA), England. The result was that Latin American art experienced a unique moment in Europe, with artists, curators, institutions, collectors, and galleries participating, dialoguing, exchanging opinions, and viewing and reviewing the latest tendencies.

This year, PINTA NY has invited the Museo del Barrio of New York; the Harvard Art Museum; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA); the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA), Long Beach; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; and the Bronx Museum of the Arts, to participate in the fair.

Beyond the significance of their acquisitions in the inevitable process of the globalization of Latin American art, the PINTA Museum Acquisitions Program represents both an opportunity and a welcome challenge for participating galleries. To participate in PINTA NY means to play a decisive role in the transformation of the way of looking at modern and contemporary Latin American art, and in the expansion of its market.

@ossobuco,
I'll try and make it next month to this show. Just remind me the week of its arrival.

Of course, I'm quite a fan of abstract expressionism and contemporary art. Not to familiar with the Latin America art scene.

Thanks for the extralong heads up Ossobuco! Cool

@tsarstepan,
Okay, if you remind me to remind you...
Well, let's keep this thread perking, and then maybe both of us will remember.

Meantime, I got an email announcement that one of my old favorite teachers, Sam Amato, is showing at FIG. (I took his adv. painting class six times, that is, for six quarters. Always an invigorating class, every time.)

link - Sam Amato, New Paintings: Meditations on Nature

quoting the email announcement,

In Sam Amato’s latest exhibition two themes that have interested him in recent years have merged to inspire his latest series. Amato has been combining his observations of nature and views of his garden with his pursuit of the spiritual as has been seen in his paintings representing Buddhist holy figures. Amato approaches his new flower paintings as if they are mystical mandalas, spiritual objects worthy of meditation. And, while his paintings suggest the quiet and intimacy of meditation, at the same time they burst with the power of nature and the universe. Although long known as a figurative painter, he has always used elements of abstract painting’s vocabulary. In his current series he flirts with abstraction more than any time in the past, quite successfully walking the line between figuration and abstraction.

Amato states, “There are different ways of viewing and interpreting this work. It breaks down into different components that appear linked to nature as its point of reference and departure. However, looking further at the body of these paintings on exhibit different components not conventionally associated with nature material assert themselves. The focus begins shifting. The nature theme is surrounded by other issues. Together the work shares an apparent unity and then speculations arise as to what these paintings might be about. The scale of flowers so blown up in some of the work. Why? Why the absorption in single flowers? Flowers examined closely bear a wonderful resemblance to Eastern mandalas. The inner and the outer. That is how I see many flowers. Some paintings are configurations of nature visible for the space of a few seconds. Some of the images suggest that flowers may show signs of suffering and anguish. There may be psychological and philosophical elements in this work. The force and presence of color provides the vitality to whatever is original in these paintings. This work was an important creative experience for me. The unknowable no less than the knowable.”

Sam Amato is a graduate of Pratt Institute of Art in New York. He has exhibited his work in galleries and museums frequently since the mid-1950’s. He taught for over 30 years at U.C.L.A., retiring in 1990.
