Taryn Simon

PAPERWORK AND THE WILL OF CAPITAL

Gagosian on 24th has an exhibit of the recent works of Taryn Simon, who has reduced the high tension political meetings of dignitaries down to the florist who arranged the bouquet that sat at the meeting. She strips away the context revealing the flowers that were designed for the event. One visual had no flowers, how sad. Also included in the show are flower pressings of the type of flowers presented at these events. Framing is awesome. Check it out through March 26, 2016

Ken Price

Large Sculptures and Specimen Rocks

These are the last sculptures Ken created before he died in 2012. It’s kind of a mini survey of his work. The specimen rocks were created in the 1980’s and are very angular and colorful forms. The large sculptures really have to be seen in person. They are displayed amazingly and are so visceral that you want to reach out and hug them. Check it out.
