I fly to New York on Sunday and am so looking forward to catching some exhibits while in town. I’m particularly eager to see the Ellsworth Kelly drawings at the Met and Avedon murals at the Gagosian. Do let me know of any other exhibits you’d recommend!
P.S. This is so silly, but I always find an excuse to buy the exhibit book. Do you? It makes for the best souvenir :)
The Schiaparelli & Prada exhibit at the Met is pretty spectacular, I went yesterday. Plus, they have the most amazing exhibit books and souvenirs!
Alexandra – I saw it last time I was in town, so brilliant! :)
Museum of the City of New York: The Greatest Grid. Enjoy!
Hi Katie! I’m visiting New York in August for AltNYC. Any hotel recos in/around Chelsea?
Hope you’re enjoying your stay!

I’ve got to get to the Ellsworth Kelly exhibit! Thanks for the reminder :)
I loved the Plant Drawings one! So simple and so pretty. Enjoy!
I have two exhibits on my list:
Christopher Boffoli’s “Edible Worlds” at Winston Wachter

RACHEL PERRY WELTY at Yancey Richardson Gallery

Enjoy & Have fun in NY!
I would recommend the Whitney to see Yayoi Kusama’s Fireflies on the water.
I do purchase the exhibit book, often without getting to view the exhibit. My favorite souvenir by far!
Have fun! I need a New York trip!
It’s not silly at all to buy the exhibition catalogue! As an art historian, I know that it takes a lot of work to produce them, and they (generally) contain very good scholarship, written by curators or professors with PhDs in their field.
And check out the Morgan Library – Venetian Renaissance drawings and Ellsworth Kelly sculpture! Hope you enjoy.
Maybe you’re already back on the west coast… but I think you would enjoy: http://www.gagosian.com/exhibitions/richard-avedon–may-04-2012
ps. I bought the E. Kelly book, it is beautiful and so fresh!!!
