Picked this up at a secondhand store last week:



No idea who the artist is/was, but it's dated '68.

We have a handful of Nate Williams work. Always really admired his prints and line weight choices.

Another recent favorite is Dead Feminists "Broadside" prints. We just picked up the Focal Point Broadside No. 19 test print (they had only 4 left). Incredible work and attention to detail.

Our house had a number of Charley Harper prints hanging on the walls. He was an incredible designer who used birds and animals as his forms. This is one I remember from a wall in our dining room.



Andy Goldsworthy is likely well known here. His books sit on many coffee tables, but that's a well-earned honor I think.

If you ever visit Storm King in the Hudson Valley, look for his serpentine wall.

Not really art, but a wonderful piece of graphic design:

Kristyna and Marek Milde are Czech artists living in NYC, and they've been doing some interesting environmental art - not preachy sky is falling but very subtly messaged highly creative work that I really like, so much so that we bought a piece from their Petrified Times series.

I was reading the Regeneration Trilogy by Pat Barker on the 1 train, a passage where shell-shocked soldiers were being treated in a hospital decorated with Tenneil's illustrations of Alice in Wonderland. The train came to a stop, and I looked out the window to find this:

That's art.



My great uncle Lockwood de Forest could paint. The Santa Ynez circa 1915:

I saw Danh Vo at the Manhattan Guggenheim earlier this year. I found the whole exhibition profoundly moving.

Earlier this week this was one of my b-day presents from my folks. It was chosen by my sister, who lives in Maine.

Great thread j44!
well done.

Love Goldsworthy … the Stone River at Stanford is compelling.
eventually maybe get to storm King.

I attended a residency with Peter Ligon. He's a nice painter - representational landscapes that play a bit loose with perspective (sort of Hopper-esque with a little more slouch) but manage to maintain a nice sense of space and light. Not your ordinary landscape house painter. Something of the unique, as a friend used to say.

Martin Puryear is (to my mind) the preeminent sculptor of the last 40 years in the United States. His influences run the gamut from African American slave handmade objects to Shaker boxes. His pieces contain the secular and political, but they are remarkably quiet. I saw the show at MOMA in 2007 several times, and I was always struck by how calm the gallery was.

This is the website for the MOMA show. Both options are Flash based which is sort of annoying, but the images are well done.

Here is an interview about his piece "Ladder for Booker T. Washington".

I wanted to put this somewhere, and an individual thread didn't make sense. Mike Augspurger and his wife Leni Fried have been going their own way for a long time, and while not capital A art, still a very creative tack in their lives. I appreciate their work.

The page takes awhile to load, but the article is well done.
