JR and Jose Parla
Artists JR and Jose Parla have made a collaborative exhibit that is like art within art within art at the Bryce Wolkowitz gallery in Manhattan. Entitled “The Wrinkles of the City, Havana,” Parla and JR each created art and the exhibit shows off large scale photos of their collaborative efforts.
JR and Jose Parla
JR put up massive black and white portraits of ordinary people in Cuba who lived through the Cuban revolution and then Jose Parla added his calligraphic writings and color to the outdoor murals. A documentary shown at the gallery accompanies these art works and it really provides context when watching interviews with some of these elderly folks who are at times both baffled and flattered by these works.

“The Last Panda” by Rob Pruitt
May 8, 2013 was a special night in New York as there was the opening of the first new Jeff Koons exhibit in a decade in New York but also a one night pop up exhibit of “The Last Panda” by Rob Pruitt. The exhibit took place at 436 West 15th Street in a building that looked like it had been abandoned for quite a while. It was pitch black inside the space save for a light towards the back of the building that shone on 2 works by Rob Pruitt.
Rob Pruitt’s “The Last Panda”
Apparently the first 100 guests got free T-shirts and ice-cream but I was getting my Jeff Koons on so I missed it. But I am glad I saw the art because I love Rob Pruitt.

Jeff Koons “Gazing Ball”
Jeff Koons’ first exhibit of new work in New York in a decade opened last night, May 8, 2013 in the exhibit “Gazing Ball” at David Zwirner and it was quite a scene. His work often elicits a strong response and I heard the gamut of emotions last night at the opening night reception.
Jeff Koons “Gazing Ball”
The fact that Koons’ work gives people such a strong reaction is proof that his work is effective as it pushes the “art as a conversation” boundaries outwards. I overheard a lot of art critics (who shall not be named) not wanting to like it, but once inside the gallery, they couldn’t help but enjoy what they saw. And to those who didn’t give the work a chance and just hated on it for the sake of hatred, it was abundantly clear that those people are extremely jealous of Jeff Koons’ success.
Jeff Koons “Gazing Ball”
I am not one of those people who is jealous of Koons and in fact, I think that it’s so great that he has not let fame go to his head. He has just been dubbed the most successful US artist since Andy Warhol, and still he took the time at the opening to sign autographs and pose for photos with fans, and as you can imagine, he was pretty mobbed at times.
Mark Kostabi at Jeff Koons’ “Gazing Ball”
Many celebs and artists were at the opening including artist Mark Kostabi (pictured above), Ben Stiller, Salman Rushdie and art collector Peter Brant.
Have your own conversation about Koons’ latest exhibit “Gazing Ball” after viewing it at David Zwirner (located at 525 West 19th Street) through June 29, 2013.
