Louise Bourgeois

Another great exhibition is coming to town! Louise Bourgeois will be exhibiting at MOCA from October 26th through January 25th, 2009. This exhibition is the first major showing of Bourgeois’s work in more than a decade. Her work is simultaneously engaging in both modern and traditional techniques and explores various themes in a range of styles. This one is a must-see I think. Ooh! And members of MOCA get invited to a special opening gala this Saturday night, I'll definitely be there.

Vanity Fair Portraits

Vanity Fair Portraits: Photographs 1913–2008 will be showing at LACMA starting October 26th through March 1, 2009. This is the first major exhibition to bring together the magazine's archive of rare vintage prints with its contemporary photographs. These look gorgeous! I am so excited to see these, I love a good exhibition and this one looks promising.

Kara Walker Catalog

Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love. Kara Walker's catalog for her Walker Art Center was featured in I.D. Magazines Annual Design Review. I think it's stunning! The catalog was designed to resemble a slave narrative from the mid 1940's: brilliant! Designed by Andrew Blauvelt and Emmet Byrne.
