Damien Hirst, "White Roses & Butterflies" (2008), Wallace Collection, London
Some random notes and links for December:
- Damn it! For as much as I hate everything he’s done before now (i.e. dead animals in tanks of formaldehyde), I find myself really liking Damien Hirst’s new collection of paintings (see above). Again, damn it. Check them out here.
- Today I went to the new exhibit at the Taft Museum of Art, Cincinnati — Drawn by New York:
Watercolors and Drawings from the New-York Historical Society. Its shows works inspired by New York or made by New York artists and spans from the era of New Amsterdam up to 9/11. Beautiful set-up, amazing collection.
- And for this month’s “if only” — If only I could take a week off and travel to Hartford, Connecticut to see Rembrandt’s People at the Wadsworth Atheneum…..Most interesting to me, it features Rembrandt’s Self Portrait (1659) which I use a detail of in the banner of this blog. Check it out here.
