I've just finished browsing the very well produced web site for the Bauhaus exhibition at MOMA (see my previous post for a discussion of the exhibition design). The Bauhaus was a German design and craft school, in existence from 1919 until it's closure by the Nazi regime in the early '30s. Its proponents maintained that the building was the ultimate form of art, and that art and craft were not separate...

Five years ago, contemporary art collector Frieder Burda opened a museum right in the heart of Baden Baden, Germany. As one of the world's original resort towns, tradition tends to trumps trendiness in Baden Baden, and this museum, in a building designed by Richard Meier , and the modern and contemporary art exhibits on offer, definitely set tongues a-wagging in town. When I visited this past Spring,...

The theme of last's years outdoor sculpture exhibition at Sudely Castle in the U.K. was play. Some of the installations are of no relevance (Dripping plastic skeleton figure in a tree? Not. Playful.) but others have some new ideas... Several of the pieces focused on reflectance, a material attribute I wish I saw more in playspaces. Jeppe Hein's 'Mirror Labyrinth' would definitely be fun on a playground,...

At the heart of the National Gallery's new show, The Sacred Made Real, lies a question intended to vex: why do we find 17th-century Spanish religious painting so easy to look at, 17th-century Spanish religious sculpture so hard? Why does Zurbaran's canvas of St Francis Standing in Ecstasy strike us as sublime, Pedro de Mena's wooden effigy of the same subject as cheesy?

BRUSSELS.- Twelve years after the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium held a large retrospective, the world of Paul Delvaux (1897-1994) will once more be explored in an ambitious exhibition that will tackle a theme which had previously been neglected by art historians: the transposition of antiquity into the work of this Belgian artist. Delvaux asserted his passion for antiquity all his life, long...

HERE WE ARE again, revisiting old work instead of doing new work. I think it's one of the great drawbacks of technological improvements: the greatly enhanced ability to revisit, review, revise, Lou Harrison's motto was Cherish. Consider. Conserve. Create. Mine seems to have devolved to Revist. Review. Reconsider. Revise. The project at hand is honorable, though, because it's attached to an event by...
