NEW
YORK, NY.- Gagosian Gallery presents “Roy Lichtenstein:
Still
Lifes,” the first exhibition devoted solely to Lichtenstein’s still life
paintings, sculptures and drawings, which span from 1972 through the
early
1980s. Although Lichtenstein will always be synonymous with Pop Art, he
continued to make inventive new work for almost three decades beyond the
1960s,
during which he had become famous for his distinctive use of popular
cartoon
images and commercial painting style. On exhibition 8 May through 30
July,
2010.
BERLIN.- Monika Sprüth and Philomene
Magers
present an exhibition of new works by Andreas Gursky in Berlin. The
series of
works represents an important new development in Gursky’s practice in
which the
artist reassesses the way he works with photography. Like many of
Andreas
Gursky’s works, the new, six-part series Ocean I-VI (2009-2010) goes
back to a
spontaneous visual experience. As the artist relates, while
flying one
night from Dubai to Melbourne he stared for some time at the flight
monitor: the
Horn of Africa to the far left, a tip of Australia to the far right –
and there
in between the blue void. Then all of a sudden he saw the graphic
representation
on the monitor as a picture.
AMSTERDAM (AP).- Nearly all of Anne Frank’s diary
went on display for the first time at the Dutch house where she wrote it
during
the two years the Jewish teenager was in hiding from the Nazis. The
notebooks
and pages that comprise the World War II diary have been moved into the
Anne
Frank House museum to mark 50 years since it opened its doors to the
public.
Dutch Queen Beatrix opened the exhibition, then attended a commemoration
at the
17th century Western Church a few dozen steps from museum.
LONDON.- Idea Generation Gallery presents a

the
pioneers of original commercial design. The retrospective is not only an
exhibition of his most celebrated covers but also offers a unique
insight into
the otherworldly and incongruous work Storm is carrying out today. On
exhibition
2 April through 2 May, 2010.
MIAMI, FL.- Yesterday, at a visit to a graphic design class at the Design and Architecture Senior High school (DASH) in Miami’s Wynwood/Design District, Chairman Rocco Landesman announced that the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has released a request for proposals (RFP) for a new “Art Works” logo; the RFP is available at www.arts.gov/artworksdesign. At the announcement, Chairman Landesman was joined by DASH principal Stacey Mancuso, arts advocate and patron Lin Arison, gallerist David Castillo, director of The Wolfsonian-FIU Cathy Leff, architect Terry Riley, and NEA Senior Deputy Chairman Joan Shigekawa. The visit to DASH was part of the Chairman’s latest stop on his “Art Works” tour across America; he was in Miami to see the role that design, architecture, and artists play in creating the greater Miami area we know today. When used by the Chairman, the phrase “art works” has three meanings: “art works” are t
