This week is the artiest in NYC: yesterday, I went to the opening of the
Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory, America’s longest-running fine art fair now in its 22nd year. The Armory's 55,000 square-foot hall contains an impressive breadth: John McCracken’s minimalist structures and Christopher Williams’ stark, foot-focused photos (
David Zwirner), spanking-new works on paper by 89-year-old Louise Bourgeois (
Cheim & Read), familiar Picasso and Matisse prints (
Pace Prints) and beautiful selection of sketches by Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele (
Galerie St. Etienne). Since I interviewed the amazing
Alec Soth for last year’s September WOM, my favorite booth was the
Weinstein Gallery’s: it's a solo show of the Minneapolis-based photog. Though most of his pictures are haunting and dark, this
Magazine: Paris/Minnesota is a group of glamorous, color-saturated fashion shots.
