For the Love of Art
“The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was founded in 1929 and is often recognized as the most influential museum of modern art in the world.” Hot damn, I love this place! When I moved to New York four years ago, I always went to MoMA, saw off-Broadway shows and did other stuff tourists do more than locals.
Last week, in an attempt to take advantage of my city more, I saw the Marlene Dumas: Measuring Your Own Grave exhibition with Rachel, Sara and Sara’s boyfriend. If you’re simply interested in Dumas’ stuff, you can read about her online at London’s Saatchi Gallery. If you live in New York, it’s worth the trip to MoMA. (Psssst, I hear the Met’s Art and Love in Renaissance Italy exhibition is good, too. It’s on ’till February 16th.)
