How the Whitney might just solve the impossible problem of contemporary art.
Curatorial staff and art handlers placing artwork on the sixth floor for the inaugural exhibition,“America Is Hard to See.”Photograph by Nic Lehoux, Courtesy of the Whitney I’ve spent much of my life in and in love with museums. When I was 10 years old, there was no mention of art in my home. But then my mother began driving me from the suburbs to the Art Institute of Chicago. There, she looked at art on her own for hours, leaving me to do the same. By then — in the 1970s, with no art in my background, just inchoate need — I had gathered together an idea of what a museum was supposed to be.
But museums have changed — a lot. The list of fun-house attractions is long. In this way, an old museum model has been replaced by another one. The museums of New York can already feel alien with this new model taking over. What makes this all so startling is that these museums have never been all-out competitors before. #museumlol on Pinterest. Paste Magazine sur Twitter : "Tweets of the Week.
Photos libres. Conserving Tullio Lombardo's "Adam": Time-Lapse. After extensive research and planning, conservators at The Metropolitan Museum of Art reconstructed Tullio Lombardo's "Adam," documenting elements of the process with time-lapse photography.
The life-size marble statue of Adam, carved by Tullio Lombardo (Italian, ca. 1455–1532), is among the most important works of art from Renaissance Venice to be found outside that city today. Made in the early 1490s for the tomb of Doge Andrea Vendramin, it is the only signed sculpture from that monumental complex. The serene, idealized figure, inspired by ancient sculpture, is deceptively complex.
Carefully manipulating composition and finish, Tullio created God's perfect human being, but also the anxious victim of the serpent's wiles. In 2002, Adam was gravely damaged in an accident. The exhibition allows Adam to be viewed in the round and explains this unprecedented twelve-year research and conservation project. Learn more about the exhibition on metmuseum.org.
