☆ The ‘Haunting’ of Gary Simmons
  + stars: | 2023-06-09 | by ( Ted Loos | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
For someone whose signature move is using chalk or paint to create ghostly traces of images that seem to be disappearing before our eyes, Gary Simmons is emphatically present in the art world these days. Simmons, a Conceptual artist known for looking at the ways racial ideas are disseminated, has his biggest and most comprehensive retrospective opening June 13 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, as well as a current show of new work at Hauser & Wirth in London. “Seeing that much of your own work can have an odd effect — it can be paralyzing,” said Simmons, 59, who was warm and chatty as he talked about the MCA show in the smaller of his two studios here. At the MCA, “Gary Simmons: Public Enemy,” with 70 works, will be on view through Oct. 1, and later travel to the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the co-organizer.

In Richard Avedon’s over 60-year career behind the camera, he became the pre-eminent fashion photographer and then one of the most famous photographic portraitist in the world. More than 150 prominent figures have chosen a photograph they admire by Avedon, who died in 2004, for a large exhibition celebrating the centenary of the photographer’s birth. Avedon 100 is open through June 24 at Gagosian Gallery in New York.
☆ Frieze New York’s Intimate Art Fair Pops Up at the Shed
  + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( Ted Loos | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
Temporary “pop-up” editions of retail stores and restaurants have proliferated in the past few years. And what is an art fair if not a specialized, group version of that idea? The 11th edition of the fair Frieze New York will pop up at the Shed in Hudson Yards this week, from Thursday to Sunday, and will feature 68 galleries. The trick for the fair is that New York is already an art-world hub with hundreds of art spaces throughout the city, and the Shed sits just a few blocks from the gallery-packed Chelsea neighborhood. As Frieze’s director of Americas, Christine Messineo, put it, “The mission for New York is, we know we have a really educated audience, so how do we show them things they might not come across on their own?”
☆ Increasingly, Women Are Running the World’s Great Museums
  + stars: | 2023-04-25 | by ( Ted Loos | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
This article is part of our special report on the Art for Tomorrow conference in the Italian cities of Florence and Solomeo. When Laurence des Cars was appointed president-director of the Louvre in 2021, it was a historic marker. The world’s most visited museum had a woman in charge for the first time since it was founded in 1793. “Top jobs are symbols,” Ms. des Cars said recently in an interview. “And I take the symbol very seriously.”At the time, she already held an important lead role at a major institution, running the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, but the reaction to the Louvre news surprised her for what she called the “intensity and worldwide echo of the announcement.”Ms. des Cars was the highest-profile example in a wave of women taking the top jobs at some of the world’s biggest museums.
☆ How an Artist Is Transforming the Guggenheim Museum—Down to the Freight Elevator Hallway

It’s telling that artist Sarah Sze’s cellphone ringtone is the famous five-note tune from the 1977 sci-fi classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind, which was used in the movie to communicate with an alien spaceship. “We are so fully immersed in it,” Sze says of technology, one of her great subjects. “We’re in the eye of the storm.”In her Hell’s Kitchen studio in Manhattan this past December, Sze—known for her sprawling multimedia assemblages—works amid what seems like a tornado of artistic materials. But the chaos is carefully controlled.
