Or…have someone near and dear tell you about it
I knew where my walk was taking me today and I was excited. I was told about an interesting artist whose works were in the window of the Gagosian Gallery on Park Avenue. So I got into warm clothes and ventured out.
One of my joys in the City is finding free and wonderful things to do. This was one of them. The windows in the gallery will be lit 24 hours a day through January. I’m pretty sure I’ll be back again a few times and probably at least once in the evening hours to see how they illuminate the art.
The artist is EWA JUSZKIEWICZ, born in 1984 in Poland. One of her quotes:
“I find the boundary between beauty and ugliness very fluid.”
I took this photo on my phone from the side window on 75th street, I was there all told about 20 minutes, talking to other people who stopped. I didn’t know a great deal about her, but I’ve been reading. Critics have described her “meticulous technique” with “touches of the surreal, the fantastical and the grotesque.” (from Gagosian website) My reaction? The classics with a twist. Wow!
I’m an art history buff and love discovering artists even if they’ve been around for a while, she is a great find. If you get a chance look her up and read what she has to say about her work and women.
LOVE THIS CITY1
