The Rest of the Art I Saw in 2022

So I made that Katz post about my favorite art show of 2022, but now here’s a post about all the other great art I saw in 2022. Every museum or gallery visit I took last year is represented here as briefly as possible. I feel very fortunate to have access to world class art all over the place here in New York, but also saw some real cool stuff in states like Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois this last year. And Mexico, too, of course.

Art #1: The Sacred Feminine in LDS Art & Theology at the Center Gallery

Art #2: An afternoon stop at Christie’s to look at the old art they were auctioning off.

Art #3: A visit to the Met to check out the recently reopened European Paintings galleries

Art #4: Carl Arrington’s Jame Joyce art at the Center Gallery

Art #5: A visit to the Met with Emily

Art #6: Just a little bit of time passed at a few Chelsea galleries

Art #7: The Whitney Biennial!

Art #8: Birthday visit to the Indianapolis Speedway and you know what? I say those race cars are art!

Art #9: Popped into the Larrie Gallery on the LES to check out a little show of Daniel Arnold photographs.

Art #10: On my next Columbus trip, Liz takes me to the Aullwood (All wood?) Audubon Center to see their trolls. Trolls are art! (and you know I can’t resist posting an Eastern Box turtle)

Art #11: a nice Saturday afternoon visit to the Cloisters

Art #12: a quick stop into the New Museum

Art #13: a nice Chelsea gallery walk including a big Barbara Kruger show.

Art #14: Find an opportunity to go back to the Chelsea Galleries to check out a Devon Turnbull sound system. Anyone remember Nom de Guerre, the store that used to be in Noho that you’d go under the sidewalk to get to? Well now the guy that made that store makes these monstrous sound systems.

Art #15: Art Institute of Chicago — took a little Chicago trip, Liz came over too, Mom and Dad took us to the Art Institute.

Art #16: And then Liz and I went up the street to the Museum of Contemporary Art to check on their big Nick Cave show.

Art #17: then a day or two later we all went to Cantigny to see their alebrijes

Art #18: Went to the Columbus Museum of Art to see their show about Raphael tapestries as well as other nice art.

Art #19: Big Chelsea Gallery crawl with Rebecca and Paul

Art #20: And just a few days I went to the overwhelming Wolfgang Tillmans show at the overwhelming Friday night MoMA.

Art #21: There was a new Billy Childish show at the Lehman Maupin gallery in Chelsea. Billy is my #1 favorite punk musician and now he’s an art star. We’ve “met” twice! But it’s been a rather long time.

Art #22: On my way to one of my visits to the Katz show I popped into the UES Gagosian to see the Anna Weyent show. Anna Weyent is a downtown NY art darling AND she’s dating the owner of the Gagosian? Funny how that works out. I enjoyed her paintings and drawings, though.

Art #22: And right before going to a Christmas Party I popped into the new little Kerry James Marshall show at the Jack Shainman gallery (I’ve “worked” there!). Great stuff. I’m nuts for Marshall.

And that’s it! That’s all the art. Although now I realize I should have included Other World in Columbus. Oh well. Nice to always have something else to post about.

OH! You know what? I also went and saw the Edward Hopper show at the Whitney. Hmmm. I wonder where those pictures are?

Ok, found them!

Bonus Art: A December trip to the Hopper in NY exhibit at the Whitney. I had been dragging my feet about getting to this one. I don’t know why! It was a treat! (Also: appearance by hamburger guy statue)
