The Museum of Biblical Art has a wonderful show entitled Scripture for the Eyes: Bible Illustration in Netherlandish Prints of the 16th Century. This is "the first major exhibition to explore the central role played by printed illustrations of subjects from both the Old and New Testaments in the Low Countries during the sixteenth century."

claes oldenburg and coosje van bruggen

The Whitney's very nice look at the work of Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen closes on September 6th. It is well worth the effort to see this exhibition on one of the world's "most innovative artists of the postwar period."

guyton/walker

Wade Guyton and Kelley Walker have teamed up again in the form of Guyton/Walker, a "functioning autonomous artist" who "treats the individual artistic styles of Wade Guyton and Kelley Walker as any other image to be incorporated, interfered with, and appropriated." Both artists are successful stars in their own right, but this collaboration gives them a new way to "extend and interrogate ideas of authorship, production, commodity and distribution."
