It is a warm and beautiful Easter Sunday here in New York and I spent the morning at the Metropolitan Museum at the exhibition of Agnolo Bronzino's fascinating Renaissance drawings.
Now, I am at Newark Liberty Airport waiting for my flight to Toronto to board.
Yesterday, I spent a good part of the day at the Museum of Modern Art. The permanent collection alone is a reason to go there as frequently as possible, but at the moment they are also presenting a few extraordinary special exhibitions: all of the museum's Water Lillies by Claude Monet in one room; a retrospective of William Kentridge's work; and—for me the most fascinating of all—the first American retrospective of the performance artist Marina Abramović, The Artist Is Present. This exhibit ncludes a new work with Abramović herself performing almost every single day from March 14 until the end of May for entire duration of the museum's opening hours. I believe there is a live video-stream on the MOMA's website www.moma.org to give you an idea. I was endlessly fascinated.
