Exposition. The WARHOL Look/Glamour Style Fashion
USA, New York, Whitney Museum of American Art
http://www.echonyc.com/~whitney/WMAA/warhol/main.html
" The Warhol Look does not refer exclusively to Andy Warhol's appearance, it also suggests how the artist looked at fashion, Hollywood, New York culture and how these influences had a decisive impact on his life and work. In turn, his look and his work have informed contemporary style, fashion, and popular culture. From his childhood to his untimely death at the age of fifty-eight, Andy Warhol's interest in beauty and stardom was fundamental to his artmaking. Together, Mark Francis, Chief Curator and Margery King, Associate Curator of The Andy Warhol Museum, have organized an exhibition in seven sections that traces Warhol's unflagging fascination with glamour, style, and fashion from the 1940s to the 1980s. Over 40 other artists' work accompany Warhol's illustrations, paintings, films, magazines, photographs, and collection of clothing. "

Exposition. Gene YOUNG: photographs
USA, Washigton D.C., The Corcoran Gallery of Art
"Washington artist Gene Young makes photographs that evoke allegorical and personal responses to African culture. While some are photographed from life, other images are staged studio scenes or highly-charged still lifes of amulets, conch shells, bones, masks and other objects. Sometimes simple and direct, often layered and complex, Young's work constitutes an ongoing personal exploration of spiritual and historical connections between African-American life and a hidden African past. Many of Young's prints are created by hand-coating paper with palladium metals, one of the oldest and most beautiful photographic processes. He also uses new technology, in the form of computer-generated Iris ink jet prints. This presentation, which consists of approximately 30 photographs, marks Young's first solo museum exhibition."

"The first North American retrospective in twenty years to honor New Jersey-based sculptor George Segal (b. 1924) comes to the Hirshhorn following its fall 1997 premiere showing at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Segal's focus on the human condition will be revealed in more than 60 works, including key examples of his signature white-plaster figurative tableaux--powerful images of urban alienation that helped establish the artist as a founder of Pop Art. Also on view will be Segal's diverse explorations in other media: early figure paintings and sumptuously colored pastels; painted reliefs of the human body; Cubist-inspired still-life sculptures; and from the 1990s, larger-than-life portrait drawings in pencil and pastel. After closing in Washington, the exhibition travels to the Jewish Museum in New York and the Miami Art Museum in Florida."

A diorama-like photo-etching provides a backdrop for silhouetted and three-dimensional sculptures of birds, stars, flowers, rabbits, cats, snowflakes, raindrops, eggs, and other elements of the natural world. Smith?s visits to natural history museums provided inspiration, in part, for this metaphorical, nocturnal environment. A brochure by Associate Curator Phyllis Rosenzweig accompanies the show."

USA, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
"This exhibition brings together an exemplary group of over two hundred and fifty original snapshots and albums, selected to demonstrate the potential for untutored, often accidental works of art possible only with photography. These works illustrate the importance of amateur domestic photography to the preservation of family histories and cultural memory, in a form that has retained its aura of authenticity and directness for more than one hundred years. Snapshots will interrogate photography's status as a museum art by confronting the power of this alternative, vernacular tradition, through an exhibition that will prove both provocative and visually delightful.

Exposition. Triumph of the Spirit: Carlos ALFONZO, A Survey, 1975-1991
USA, Washington D.C., Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
"Emblems of "desire, death, sacrifice and spiritual change," as one writer has described it, permeate nearly 50 paintings and works on paper by Cuban-born American artist Carlos Alfonzo (1950--1991), whose life was cut short by AIDS at the age of 40. From early calligraphic compositions created in Cuba to tumultuously autobiographical "blood" paintings of 1990--91, Alfonzo's bravura with paint, penchant for diverse sources (the Tarot, Roman Catholicism, the Afro-Cuban Santería religion), and alignment with transatlantic Neo-Expressionist trends are revealed. The Miami-based Alfonzo reached the brink of national recognition after emigrating from Cuba in 1980 as part of the Mariel Harbor boatlift. The exhibition, organized by Assistant Curator Olga Viso, is on tour from the Miami Art Museum. Essays by Viso, Dan Cameron, and others appear in a fully illustrated bilingual catalog"

Exposition. Helen FRANKENTHALER: Dark Paintings
USA, Washigton D.C., The Corcoran Gallery of Art
"This exhibition is a concise, focused survey of an important, yet relatively little known aspect of this celebrated artist's work. Although she has been acclaimed internationally for paintings, works on paper and graphic whose expressive power depends on orchestrations of radiant, chromatic color, there has been an ongoing other side to Frankenthaler's palette. Since the beginning of her career, she has explored the aesthetic resonances that prove that "dark" pigments can result in pictures that contain "light." Extracting maximum drama not from the sunlit close-valued hues with which she is associated, but from a range of somber tones and near-monochromes, Frankenthaler has produced some of her most powerful work."

USA, Washington D.C., Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden
"The first solo museum show in Washington for New York--based artist Tony Oursler (b. 1957) focuses on his video-animated sculptures using his most frequent model, Tracy Leipold. The doll-like cloth figures have "talking heads" in the form of live- action projections of Leipold's face spouting emotional and psychological ruminations; a projector and various props complete each tableau. Oursler's disquieting, often humorous fusion of sculpture, video, and performance has earned him growing acclaim. A brochure by organizing curator Sidney Lawrence accompanies the exhibition."

Exposition. Documents Northwest: The PONCHO Series Testimonies: Work by Ross Palmer BEECHER and Barbara THOMAS
USA, Seattle Art Museum
"Testimonies: Work by Ross Palmer Beecher and Barbara Thomas presents works by two mid-career Seattle artists known for their highly imaginative, symbol-laden imagery. Both artists bring personal perspectives to broad cultural issues. Beecher looks back to the subjects and materials of colonial American history, remaking flags, maps, and broadside imagery. In one piece, she has woven and pieced together quilts using strips of metal cut from beer and soda cans. Thomas paints poignant, sharply nuanced visions that evoke mysterious, often ominous events; her narratives reflect on a variety of topics, from her family memories to visions of natural and cultural disaster. Image: Barbara Thomas, Man Cleans Fish, 1987. Collection of Deborah Atkinson."

Exposition. Cindy SHERMAN: Allegories
USA, Seattle Art Museum
http://www.SeattleArtMuseum.org/Departments/PR/Cindy/sherman.htm
"Born in New Jersey in 1954, Sherman is arguably the most celebrated artist of her generation. In the late seventies she produced a compelling group of small black and white photographs called Untitled Film Stills. Sherman appeared in each one, mimicking the stereotypical female characters that populated the movies of her youth ingenues, housewives, vamps, and other instantly recognizable types. In a later series of photographs she masqueraded as different generic types from historical paintings. Her photographs make a spectacle of social ideals, myths, and stereotypes. They probe questions of identity by stimulating viewers to consider the visual models on which we fashion our external selves and our identities. This exhibition presents a variety of Sherman s works from the last three decades. Artists Simon Grennan and Christopher Sperandio will produce a comic book to accompany this project. This exhibition is underwritten by the Anne Gerber Fund, Seattle Art Museum."
