warning

Terence Koh at the Whitney opens Friday, Jan 19th. It will run through May. And be dedicated and brave the cold to view Doug Aitken’s outdoor screenings at the MoMA. Good stuff.

Shows I would recommend:

-Kiki Smith at the Whitney (through Feb. 11th)
-Robert Irwin at Pace Wildenstein (Jan 27th)
-Ron Mueck at the Brooklyn Museum (Feb. 4th)
-Lucio Fontana at the Guggenheim (Jan. 21st)

recent shows

I recently saw the John Currin show at Gagosian, Lucian Freud at Acquavella, and the Marilyn Minter show at Salon 94. In a row. In that order.
