Roberta Smith has written an interesting and lively article entitled “Free-for-All Spirit Breezes Into a Vast Art Fair” in the Art & Design section of The New York Times looking at the vast Armory Show (through Sunday 6 March 2011 at Piers 92 and 94, 12th Avenue at West 55th Street, New York City; (212) 645-6440, thearmoryshow.com) of modern and contemporary art in New York.
Smith, in her perceptive and well-informed style, concludes, “Beware of your assumptions, historical and otherwise. The present is wild and messy, and the past is not exactly neat.”
Clearly a must-see.
Excellent slide show, here.
