This article in the NYTimes, "Your new condo leaks? Join the club" describes the problem better than I can. There are so many poorly constructed luxury condos around Brooklyn these days. It's sad to think of how much money these new condo owners have spent on lawsuits over a home that started falling apart only months after the "grand opening."
Grant Wood, The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, 1931
I've been thinking about these two paintings...the Alex Katz was in a show this summer called Fifteen Minutes at PaceWildenstein but I missed the show (of course!) and the Grant Wood is on display right here at the Met so I get to look at it all the time :)
I got pretty excited when I read Roberta Smith's article about the recently opened (on Sept 11th) FREE art school in Soho. I can't wait to go to their first "open house" as soon as they announce the date.
I made this painting of my grandpa at the Thanksgiving dinner table in 2000 when I was a freshman art student at NYU. No one in my class had ever heard of a Honey Baked Ham...the kind you get at the Honey Baked Ham store.
