I’ve always believed in arts ability to heal, uplift and even enlighten.  I recently heard that famed art historian, #BernardBerenson would famously faint in front of paintings he deemed worthy😮 But of course, it depends on the work. A piece can also disorient, enrage and disappoint! If you look hard enough you can find the real gems 🔍 💎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This painting gave me so much joy to place not just because I love Hirst’s work, but I happen to love this particular series of pharmaceutical paintings, still relevant perhaps more now than ever. And I especially adore the hot pink color (no surprise for those who know me well 😉)—so vibrant, youthful and never goes unnoticed. 💖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“I often get asked about the spot paintings… they have nothing to do with Richter or Poons or Bridget Riley or Albers or even Op. They’re about the urge or the need to be a painter above and beyond the object of a painting. I’ve often said that they are like sculptures of paintings. I started them as an endless series like a sculptural idea of a painter (myself). A scientific approach to painting in a similar way to the drug companies’ scientific approach to life. Art doesn’t purport to have all the answers; the drug companies do. Hence the title of the series, The Pharmaceutical Paintings, and the individual titles of the paintings themselves… Art is like medicine – it can heal. 🩹Yet I’ve always been amazed at how many people believe in medicine but don’t believe in art, without questioning either.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

TREASURE TROVE💎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ TREASURE TROVE💎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve been following this visionary collector couple, #BernardLumpkin and #CarmineBoccuzzi and their impeccably curated art collection for quite some time. I can really appreciate the conversations around race and identity that it inspires as a biracial, Jewish women myself. Their keen focus on traditionally underrepresented and under-recognized artists and early vision to champion Black American artists is remarkable and sets a wonderful example for others 🎯 This collection is one for the ages and will hopefully continue to educate and empower others along this journey of awakening for generations to come.🏆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

(GHADA) LOVE IT 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s keep the love going even if Valentine’s Day has already passed shall we?...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We acquired this Ghada Amer (Black Kiss) painting for a client a year after it was made. Online dating fatigue is real for singles and people are yearning for IRL experiences and the physical touch more than ever. 🫂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"I liked the idea of representing women through the medium of thread because it is so identified with femininity," 🧵she said. Her 2008 mid-career survey at the Brooklyn Museum explored the mysteries of love, war, and violence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

NE TRAVAILLEZ JAMAIS 📵⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In 1953, the French Marxist theorist, Guy Debord graffitied the words “Ne Travaillez Jamais” along the Seine in Paris. He sought to inspire the working class to cease work as a form of rebellion against the abuses of capitalist society. #RirkritTiravanija’s work above appropriates the famous phrase on a mirror that adorns #MajaHoffmann's London home, providing a literal moment of reflection.🪞 The international artist’s work typically goes beyond the visual plane to create conceptual works that engage the viewer  while bridging public and private spaces.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏠I love how the designer achieved such a dynamic and multifaceted interplay of pattern, color and texture throughout the space with art as the main focus.  The graphic rug plays against the abstract #SigmarPolke painting above the mantel, and the neutral tones of the art contrasted with the deep royal purple velvet #jeanroyère armchairs and sofa 🛋offer yet another layer of visual interest...If I lived here there would indeed be no room for work. Only dream...💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS⛰💚✨ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS⛰💚✨
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Boy, am I missing the days of intimate encounters with art...packed gallery openings, art fairs (no thanks OVRs but you’ll do for now) and especially studio visits...I used to trek endlessly through city streets and alleys 🏃🏼‍♀️, in every which city, climbing a gazillion flights of stairs, just to get that rare chance to meet an artist in their private lair. I’ll get to that in short order asap, but for now I reminisce...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The first moment I step inside an artist’s studio always takes my breath away...I relish ALL the sights, smells and sounds...crusty paint brushes, a random radio station buzzing in the background, not so hidden unprimed canvases and dismembered stretchers, and perfectly splattered floors... it just does it for me...magical in every sense. ✨✨✨
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This sunny studio is Louise Belcourt’s who I visited a while back with @Arttable. She describes her works as “paintings of sculptures of landscapes.” ⛰ So grateful for her time and generosity!🙏

ART CHALET ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Channeling ART CHALET ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Channeling #VitoSchnabel‘s Swiss chalet-like home on this snowy day. ❄️❄️ Just wanna cozy up under the #RonGorchov half-saddled painting with a good book and cuppa ☕️ 
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I actually once had the chance to visit it in person. What a treat to see such an incredible collection housed in one of the most unique spaces in the city—Palazzo Chupi!🛕 Works by Colen, Ricard, Lowman, Bradley, Palermo, Grotjahn and, of course his father #JulianSchnabel among others adorned the walls. Felt more like a dream than a gesamtkunstwerk.

SHINE ON ☀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s SHINE ON ☀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s not a particularly special day for me, just another groundhog day really and more of the same as we all wait for vaccines and life to return to some semblance of normalcy🙄 But being outdoors more than ever now (and freezing my tuchas off!) has reminded me of a life less harried and materialistic. l can’t help but appreciate the fresh air, clear skies and North Atlantic wind and sun🌬. We are all doing our best to hold on to hope and find beauty in the simple things. There is more beyond the usual rat race🐀. Whether indoors or out, this prolonged family QT and “me time” is perhaps still a much needed cocoon to process these surreal and changing times. The future is bright.🌟
THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE 🫂 . Yet another reaso THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE 🫂

Yet another reason to visit Boston...Hank Willis Thomas' 22-foot tall monument, The Embrace, will be one of the US's largest memorials dedicated to racial justice and nonviolence. It not only memorializes the legacy of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and his great wife Coretta, who played a major role, but reminds us all to pause and “take a moment to embrace our family, embrace our friends, embrace each other”. Unveiling 2022!

“In a real sense all life is interrelated. All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." - Dr. MLK Jr.
