- In Frieze, Wexner curator Christopher Bedford talks with five artists about what abstraction means to them. (In a related story, MAN Podcast Episode Two guest Charline von Heyl is popping up everywhere these days. Two big museum surveys on two continents will do that, I guess.)
On this week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast, curator Elizabeth Easton and I discuss her new exhibition “Snapshot: Painters and Photography, Bonnard to Vuillard,” which just opened at The Phillips Collection in Washington. The show is an art historical detective story of sorts, one that teases out the relationship between post-impressionist painting and the just-released 1888 Kodak hand-held camera.
