This public art piece in Madison Square Garden by Ivan Navarro was really great. There was a cluster of three installations, and when you stood beneath each one and looked up, there was a neon message extending into infinity. (Photo credit for image on the left: Aaron Calvin/ BuzzFeed)
“a meditation on immigration, transience, and dreams in the form of three water towers, created by the Chile-born, Brooklyn-based artist Iván Navarro” --Buzzfeed
There were a lot of great shows to see this Spring, among them a very engaging show titled "The Age of Small Things" curated by Chuck Webster at Dodge Gallery in the Lower East Side. Here are some of my favorite works:
The inscription in the lower lefthand corner: "When this you see, remember me"
Unknown, American folk art love token, Circa 1830, American folk art love token. Cut and woven paper, hair braid. Red painted frame with carved, gold painted frame liner.
So ironic that the maker is unknown, given the intended sentiment and purpose.
John Wesley is great: Untitled (Two Torsos), 1998
James Benjamin Franklin, Promises, Promises, 2014
Randomly this was from another show in the neighborhood: part of the The Moira Dryer Project at Eleven Rivington
Myron Stout, Untitled, ca. 1970
Vija Celmins
Trenton Doyle Hancock
And Tyson at home, always surprised by what he finds on the internet

Very pretty combo.
Moving onto Fred Tomaselli at James Cohan Gallery
Whoa
That is a lot of layers of collage, resin and paint
These smaller collages were really strong, and more universally accessible, humorous, and timely
Don't we all wish what came from politicians delivering speeches could be the good kind of "colorful abstractions"
Nice replacement
How else can the average person have any affect on politics?
This is an especially nice Tomaselli piece to segue into the Quilt show at Ed Thorp Gallery

Interesting work, but I didn't like the framing
Maybe my favorite from the show

It's a pretty amazing project to paint the same subject every day for over 40 years...
Some beautifully sensitive paintings
