Jasper Johns' 'Seeing with the Mind's Eye' is currently on view at SFMOMA - San Francisco Museum of Modern Art till Feb. 13, 2013.
For nearly 60 years, Jasper Johns has found new ways to explore, as he once put it, "how we see and why we see the way we do." This major exhibition — the artist's first Bay Area museum survey in 35 years — represents the full range of his career, from his tremendously influential renderings of numbers, flags, and other symbols in the 1950s and 1960s to vi...

There are some great paintings by lessor known artists on display at the gallery right now. Walk around one of the modular walls and there are prints by Jasper Johns and a pristine example of Oldenburg's Profile Airflow. It is worth stopping by while the show is up. Many artists are in the show but surprisingly they all work very well together. There are some great Rupert Garcia's that I have never seen before. A wide mix of work. [more]

This new group show includes some really great work by a wide range of artists. One of the more interesting shows that I have seen in this gallery, and really show the versitility of the work that gets displayed in this gallery. The three pieces at the front of the gallery, by Carlos Donjuan and Rupert Garcia, particulary the piece entitled, Mao, 1977, by Garcia. These works really pull you into the gallery, and as you move toward the back the works continues to catch the eye. The most inters... [more]

I saw David Wojnarowicz’s Fire in My Belly, 1987, the day before it was pulled from the exhibition "Hide/Seek" at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The exhibit itself has been touted by the gallery as “The first major museum exhibition to focus on sexual difference in the making of American portraiture.” Because of pressure from the Catholic League, and complaints from Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor (amongst others who haven’t actually seen the exhibition),... [more]

Embroiled in controversy—it's what you’d expect from an exhibition about gay portraiture at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C. In fact, it’s rather surprising that the controversy didn’t arise until a month after the show was open—just in time for World AIDS Day. On November 30th, the Catholic League complained about David Wojnarowicz's 1987 video piece Fire in My Belly, a “vile video” that could be interpreted as nothing more than an attack on Christianit...

Light Bulb

The light bulb is a light bulb.
Jasper Johns: poker-faced, prolific, a now-canonical giant among art historical re-makers of the mundane. Well-received, well-theorized, not abstract expressionist, not pop... shining a flashlight down waxy trails, Jasper Johns, painter/sometimes sculptor, draughtsman of real thing as real thing, and representation or impression of real thing as real thing. There is something to “Jasper Johns: Light Bulb”, now at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Die... [more]
