The MET’s Reopening

While our collective burdens grow heavier nearly by the day, there was one bright spot this past week. I was invited to attend the Press Preview before The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s reopening on August 29, 2020, in its celebratory one hundred-and-fiftieth year. One of my favorite museums in the city because of its generous […]

Hilma af Klint: ‘Paintings for the Future’ at the Guggenheim

As New York City continues its process of opening back up (The Metropolitan Museum of Art opens August 29, 2020), I thought I'd pay homage to an incredible show I experienced at the Guggenheim in February 2019. The work feels newly relevant somehow, and the photographs of people filling indoor spaces without hesitation feels to [...]

Francois Halard at Home, Arles: 56 Days in Arles

The world has pretty much opened back up.

An unexpected eight-hour layover left us with some time to kill at the Miami airport, and thanks to a rapid air train, we were able to get ourselves right to Vizcaya and back to the airport with great ease. Vizcaya […]

One Morning in France

I have been fortunate to have been called to travel for work in the last few months. I am always game for an excuse to fill my eyes. As in the title of the Diana Vreeland documentary, “The Eye Has to Travel,” inspiration abounds in seeing new things. I only had a few hours on […]

Frida Kahlo: Art, Garden, Life at The New York Botanical Garden

If you are in the New York area through November 1st, don’t miss the Frida Kahlo exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden. After having just previously toured her Casa Azul in Mexico City, visiting this exhibit in New York was such a delight. The NYBG does an incredible job recreating the feel of Frida and […]
