This Saturday, May 9th, Multi TRaC will head to the Chelsea district on Manhattan's westside to check out some contemporary artists and gallery hop around the district for about two hours.
Where to meet: outside the Gagosian Gallery, located at 522 West 21st Street and the corner of 10th Avenue, at 1pm sharp!
How to get there: Take the C or the E train to 23rd street and walk towards 1oth Ave.
At the Gogosian Gallery, we'll see an exhibition entitled "Picasso:
Mosqueteros" featuring hundreds of the late works by the famous Pablo Picasso! (All of the work in this show was completed when he was in his eighties in the 1960's and 1970's.)
He wrote of his work:
I enjoy myself to no end inventing these stories. I spend hour after hour while I draw, observing my creatures and thinking about the mad things they're up to. --Pablo Picasso, 1968
"Picasso:
Mosqueteros" is the first exhibition in the United States to focus on the late paintings since "Picasso: The Last Years: 1963-1973" at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in 1984. Organized around a large group of important, rarely seen works from the collection of Bernard Ruiz-Picasso, as well as works from The Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museo Picasso Málaga and other private collections, "Picasso:
Mosqueteros" aims to expand the ongoing inquiry regarding the context, subjects, and sources of the artist's late work.
Listen to this excited madman critic promoting the show:
Check out more about this exhibit on the
Gagosian website. Google 'Picasso:
Mosqueteros' to find reviews of the work and to learn more before we go!
After we spend some time with Pablo, we'll head out and see one or two other galleries in the hood. There's hundreds in the area, so we'll have to decide which together....
See ya'll on Saturday!
