It should be referred to as a Kavanaugh stop.

Currently riding a free bus in Albuquerque. Also buses are free in Albuquerque. What a town!

The feeling when you need to call your friend Ansel Adams, and you are Georgia O’Keeffe.

What to see in New York galleries right now? I have three suggestions in the New York Times: Alix Cléo Roubaud at Galerie Buchholz (astonishing, moving), Urs Fischer at Salon 94 Design (spectacular, dumb), and Cindy Ji Hye Kim at Casey Kaplan (masterful, spectral) www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/a...

A Mary Boone poster for a 1981 group. Via Gallery 98

BEING PAID,—what will compare with it?

Repeal the Second Amendment www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/o...

A fantastic story about beautiful Incheon, on the 75th anniversary of the landing. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/w...

Long line at Dunkin' this morning. I reach out the counter and the lady asks what I'd like. 'Medium iced coffee with milk and sugar,' I say. She pauses. 'Look what I have here for you,' she says, pointing to a medium iced coffee with milk and sugar right in front of me. Great bit. What a town.

For the New York Times, I reviewed Calder Gardens, the ambitious and beguiling new home for the work of Alexander Calder in Philadelphia. A super group is behind it: Jacque Herzog, Piet Oudolf, and more. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/15/a...

Totally fascinating read

I have read many conversations between artists, and this one with Bjarne Melgaard and Nicole Eisenman, from 2024, has to be one of the best, and most wild, rides. www.interviewmagazine.com/art/my-caree...

Shake Shack's French onion soup burger: very strong. I recommend it.

Had the high pleasure of writing about Korea’s stalwart architecture magazine, ‘Space.’ Print only, I believe. aperture.org/magazine/

That same Isabel Bishop painting is also visible on the wall in the photo at right, which means that according to canon Big Bird and Keith Haring occupy the same cinematic universe. And that's the perfect end to this Friday afternoon thread

A Simone Leigh question on LearnedLeague today. Good luck to all who partake. (I am very bad and am risking relegation.)

RIP Robert Grosvenor, one of our finest sculptors. Every piece invents a new way of seeing, a new world. We were lucky to have him.

A great story about the long-enduring Korean War www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/w...

At $1/wing night, regaling everyone with stories about how I used to go to a 10¢/wing night in my youth. They're loving it!

Sad to hear that Funkmaster Flex is ending his 33-year run at Hot 97. His 22-minute premiere of "Otis," by Jay-Z and Kanye West, in 2011, is one of our century's great performances. Flex: "Put your hand in the cash register for no reason. That money is your money." www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNH4...

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

Felix Gonzalez-Torres's Untitled (Death by Gun) is a stack of posters listing the more than 460 people killed by firearms during a single week in 1989. Viewers are invited to take a poster as the stack is constantly replenished www.moma.org/collection/w...

There's nothing radical about repealing the Second Amendment. It should have happened long ago. John Paul Stevens made the case in 2018. www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/o...

Jeff Koons back at Gagosian: finally, some stability in the world. This is how it should be.

One of life's great pleasure is changing a "Want to Go" pin in Google Maps to a "Favorites" pin.

Can someone please ask President Trump the last time he visited a museum and saw something he disliked?

Stand strong Rep. Collier.

MS NOW stands for "Moses Soyer Now." Which is a good name. We could all use some more Moses Soyer in our lives.

Are these not the most spectacularly rendered nipples in the history of painting? I'm willing to entertain counter arguments, but only with visuals.

A languid day in August. A Sunday afternoon. The thought creeps in: It’s time to look at photos and read reviews of the astonishing Documenta 13.

There’s no problem in New York City that can’t be solved with a ride on the New York City Ferry.

The slow cinema I need rn 👇🏽

I’m an hour in and it’s wonderful. Highly recommend watching this for all the reasons Andrew lays out here

There are no bad Hong Sang-soo films, but his newish 'By the Stream' is one of his best. Playing at Lincoln Center in New York right now. See it.
