I recently attended The Armory Show here in NYC. What is The Armory Show? From their website:
The Armory Show, a leading international contemporary and modern art fair and one of the most important annual art events in New York, takes place every March on Piers 92 & 94 in Manhattan. Now celebrating its fourteenth year, the Armory Show is re-establishing itself as the most adventurous and dynamic contemporary art fair in New York City.
Basically it's the biggest art fair I've ever been to. With the biggest prices. There was a photograph I liked. It was $10,000. There were works by some of the most popular contemporary artists and even some work by legendary modern artists like Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg. Despite my inability to buy anything, the window shopping was fabulous! Take a little peek for yourself:
Most interesting to note was that we were each drawn to such very different things. My brother was drawn to the photography, Teri was drawn to the smaller more graphic pieces, Ronnie was mostly entertained by the atmosphere, and I was drawn to the places where art and craft seemed to intersect. My brother looked at my photos afterwards and even though we had walked the floor together he said, "I think we were at different shows." I think that's one of the most wonderful things about art. There's something for everyone.
Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks a lot for this tour. This is one of the reasons I’d love to live in New York: the museums, the shows, all the art that happens there. And yes, I’m sure everybody has their own way of visiting such places, which is really great.

Thanks for taking me back home. I moved from NY many years ago, and miss seeing all of this. It brings back floods of happy memories.
By the looks of it, I am sure you all had a great time

Wow! What a great show full of inspiration! I agree with you on the importance of scale. Those large pieces must have been incredible in real life. Like the difference between seeing a whale on tv vs. from a blue whale watching boat.

Gosh Julie, I live vicariously through your life in NYC. So many outlets for art whether it be your classes at MOMA or MOMA itself. Or the many other kinds of art like this show, broadway, and the classes you teach. Thank you for sharing with us a little bit of the life in NYC.

We have an art show in Grand Rapids,MI, called Artprize. It is not nearly as big, I’m sure, but there is art displayed all over the city for 2 weeks or so. I love it! And, yes, it is amazing how different pieces and interpretations are enjoyed by everyone.

You can’t see my color right now, but I am green with envy! NYC has so much goodness in it! How amazing that you all saw something different there. I am an elementary school teacher and the background a child brings to the classroom makes a huge impact. Guess that continues on into adulthood too.

Thanks for that wonderful tour…so glad I have eyes all over the globe. 🙂
Also, I like the fun you had with the crayons. I saw that on Alisha`s blog too, but loved your `silly`interpretation.
So much art fun, so much time. 🙂
