+slateblue skies Thanks slateblue, I just feel lucky to be living in a place where I have an opportunity to experience so much great art. Getting to share it is a bonus.
great as always James, you're so lucky no one seems to visit the large galleries in New York, back here in London the Tate Modern is like 5th Avenue on christmas eve !! people people people
REALLY ENJOYED THE SHOW. NEW YORK IS JUST TOO COLD. EAST COAST CAN BE TOO COLD. SITTING HERE WITH FAN IN MY FACE, BANSRANGKHO, THAILAND, ENJOYING YOUR VIDEO. THANX.
Love this video... just very matter-of-fact...& very knowledgeable... enjoying it & hoping for a visit -- from the wasteland of culture...Vegas ; ( How's the High Line?!?
Renzo Piano, you could do better. There is obviously a need for more and larger exhibition spaces to accommodate the vast collections of art of the recent past. Yet people (besides the sentimentalists) still have a soft spot for the slate-clad icon by Marcel Breuer on Madison Avenue (now known as the Met Breuer). The exacting proportions and attention to detail of the older building could never be forgotten by anyone who ever experienced that building from the 1960s. A few years ago I was at a party and I mentioned to a friend the attention to detail in the stairwells of the old Whitney. Someone who overheard my comment stepped into the conversation to add his enthusiastic praise. Yes, people DO CARE about architecture.
WTF is wrong with the dude (7:32) being so disrespectful and suggesting violence to Ruth's work? Totally unacceptable behavior. This is the crap women artists have to put up with.
The "dude" is Walter Robinson, perhaps one of the most respected art critics (and also a wonderful artist in his own right) in New York City today. You may not be able to appreciate it, but this riff is all made as a humorous provocative comment... Also, Walter has probably done more to boost women artist's careers, than just about anybody alive... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Robinson_(artist)
@@jameskalm thank you for responding, I stand corrected... (there goes my art career!) It didn't seem very humorous to me. If it had been my own work, I would still have been totally horrified to get a response like that to my work, maybe more so now that I know who he is. Or maybe west coast is just a very different culture, and I just don't get it? In any case thank you for all these great videos, I so enjoy all your art reviews. I have a chronic illness so I'm often not able to get out much.
@@bestbluecatNo worries. I've been bumping into Walter around the NY art scene for decades. Over that time we've joked back and forth. And for someone just tuning in, it probably doesn't make much scene, if you're not part of this weird conversation..(?)
7:57 if I painted this it wouldn't be accepted. I couldn't get away with it why can this guy?? I'm not a Philistine!!! But it is only one solid color. I would have gotten an F in an elementary school art class. Please explain no sarcasm please!!! This is a serious question .
When Barnett Newman painted this in the mid 1950s, he was pushing the ideas of what a painting could do (be about), in new directions. His ideas were to reduce the composition down to its most essential elements (the two light red lines on the vertical edges), and color (how it is effected by what it's next to and the volume or size of the area in relation to the observer and the composition.) These ideas were extremely important to future generations of artists particularly the "Color Field" painters en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_field and the Minimalists en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimalism_(visual_arts) Barny was an interesting cat historically too...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnett_Newman
Nice ... But ,next time, please work on getting and pronouncing the names correctly - especially when you proport to have personal and historic insight. Thanks.

Thanks for making this video. I think the recent Louis Vuitton Foundation building in Paris surpasses this building though!
well done

I loved the Breauer Whitney( visited it a couple of weeks ago), but also love the new Piano Whitney (and it's a lot closer to me here in Brooklyn)...
nice place.

@@jameskalm thanks again for all your thoughtful narrative on art work. I learn a lot from your videos.
When I get to Heaven, Jesus will have to explain Marisol to me along with Marc Chagall and George Segal. Who did they sleep with??
