| October 20th, 2010 01:35:09 am |
NEW YORK (REUTERS).- More than 120 works, including two huge canvases commissioned for the exhibition, are included in a retrospective of legendary American artist John Baldessari at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. The show, "John "Baldessari: Pure Beauty" which opens on Tuesday, is the first for the Los Angeles-based artist in New York for 20 years and includes works dating back to 1962. The two new 25-foot (8.2 meter) works "Brain/Cloud," which features a giant cloud-like brain floating in a blue background, and "Palm Tree/Seascape," a canvas showing a palm tree jutting up in front of an expanse of ocean, hang in the lobby of the museum, created specifically for the New York show. "I don't think they (visitors) need any preshow counseling," the 79-year-old artist, who was dressed in all-black with a scraggly white beard, told reporters at a preview of the show. |
