For those who have not visited @nationalgallery in a while, this is the time. In addition to the #gauguin exhibition, the Leonardo Experience is a truly a unique way to view a single painting: The Virgin of the Rocks. Each room investigates a different aspect of Leonardo’s practice and approach, culminating in a spectacular presentation of the painting itself.
It was about 5 years ago when I discovered the wonderful @schauwerk_sindelfingen gallery (just outside #stuttgart in #germany ). At that time the exhibition ‘I Like America’ showed off the amazing collection amassed by reclusive refrigerator magnate Peter Schaufler. Today I saw their latest exhibition by American artist #tomsachs - a retrospective that shows off Sach’s talent as a builder and engineer as well as his ability to cleverly dissect and question culture through iconography and history of invention.
Had a great afternoon at the newly re-opened @glenstonemuseum in Potomac, Maryland (30 min outside Washington, DC). Very diverse contemporary art collection (including works by #kerryjamesmarshall #faithriggold #davidhammons) dispersed across 300 acres with a great selection of large scale outdoor sculpture #jeffkoons #charlesray #tonysmith #richardserra
I just really enjoy looking at this work which is part of Artificial Mesmerism by Thomas Grogran @frequencyfestival in #lincoln
