Posted January 9, 20169 yr Friday night it's pay-as-you-wish to get into the new Whitney Museum. I felt generous donating $2.00 (until I win that $800M tonight it'll have to do), although I admit that did feel a little cheap until I noticed that the chronically complaining elderly French-speaking couple who had been in front of me in line paid only a dollar each! Sheesh! A few highlights (couldn't remember all the artists)... A couple of works from the Archibald Motley show Views from the outdoor decks from the upper floors are spectacular Lisette Model Cincinnati-born artist Mabel Dwight Pontificating on Edward Hopper John Curry Thomas Hart Benton George Bellows sort of a second tier Jackson Pollock (the best ones are at MoMA--lol) Franz Kline okay, this is art (two by Robert Gober)... ...as is this! Can't remember the photog who did these but this is a virtual rogues gallery of up and coming 80's artists, some of whom made it big--Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, etc. what's with these two? They're probably Russian spies I wondered if this piece becomes devalued if these objects are even slightly out of their current position :laugh: southernmost end of the High Line the Frank Stella retrospective (thru Feb. 7) is outstanding http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
