Gallery Tour

Took the gallery walk over the weekend. Good stuff out there right now, and most shows are open for a few more weeks. Here are just a few...

Eric Fischl at Mary Boone...He certainly does love to paint people in the bedroom. But there's absolutely nothing erotic about any of it. I guess that's why their so interesting.

Damien Hirst at Gagosian...Most reviews say this is the show where Hirst jumps the shark, and I can see why as most of the subject matter has already been covered. But I do love those pill paintings. Also, check out the "addicted to crack" paintings...talk about scared straight.

Robert Gober at Matthew Marks on 22nd...Gober has transformed the entire gallery into a cathedral paying tribute to post 9/11 New York, except the symbolism can sometimes feel like putting together a mensa jigsaw puzzle.

Gary Hume at Matthew Marks on 24th...I've been a fan of Hume's since his 90's Young British Artist days. The snowmen are alot of fun.
