Brooklyn City Blues

I have become an orchid
washed in on the salt white beach. 
Memory,
what can I make of it now 
that might please you—
this life, already wasted
and still strewn with
miracles?

Guess who’s going to be at Pace Prints… Helen Frankenthaler! I just mentioned how I was disappointed to have missed her at the Gagosian. I’m definitely not missing this one!
Her work is there through May 24th. Click here for more info.

Murphy’s Moon, 2010 Karen Gunderson
 I love Karen Gunderson’s work; she works exclusively with black paint.

Mountains and the Sea, 1952 Helen Frankenthaler
I’m sort of sad I missed the Helen Frankenthaler exhibit at Gagosian. But surprisingly I don’t really love any of the work that was there (at least from what I can see on Gagosian’s website). 
Check out the images here; let me know what you think.

The Blues for Smoke exhibit at The Whitney is ending soon (April 28th). If you haven’t already, go check it out it’s pretty cool!
The painting above is by Jack Whitten.

I’m not sure if I have posted this before but it’s one of my favorites so it’s okay!
