  • NEON GLOW

    NEON GLOW

    By Richard Gehr | Wed, April 24, 2013

    With its imposing sculptures, stained-glass windows, and 1925 Wall Street bank façade, the Metropolitan Museum’s Charles Englehard Court might be just a little too on-the-nose, America-wise. On the other hand, what better venue for the latest Dan... More »

  • ON THE ROAD

    ON THE ROAD

    By Angela Ashman | Wed, April 10, 2013

    Riding in an SUV and armed with a high-speed camera, British-born artist James Nares drove all over Manhattan, from Harlem to Chinatown, to observe and film the world’s fastest-moving species of human, the New Yorker. After recording 16 hours of... More »

  • FIRST IMPRESSION

    FIRST IMPRESSION

    By Araceli Cruz | Wed, March 06, 2013

    Claude Monet may be best known as a master of Impressionism, but he could also be considered as one of the first style bloggers ever. Really! His paintings, such as Women in the Garden and Luncheon on the Grass, documented a revolutionary time... More »

    The Ten Best Jazz Shows in NYC This Month

    By David R. Adler | Mon, March 04, 2013

    These are the 10 best jazz shows in New York this month. Charles Lloyd New Quartet The tenor sax icon turns 75 on March 15. He'll celebrate at the Met's Temple of Dendur, where imposing Roman-Egyptian... More »

  • Naseer Shamma and Al-Oyoun Ensemble

    Naseer Shamma and Al-Oyoun Ensemble

    By Richard Gehr | Wed, February 27, 2013

    Iraqi oud virtuoso Naseer Shamma brings his eight-member Arab chamber ensemble to the US for the first time in more than a decade. Which is a very good thing insofar as great players of the pear-shaped lute are not exactly a local staple. The... More »

  • 2012 | Best All-American Galleries

    Don't let Red State demagogues monopolize patriotism: Right here in Gotham we bring on the jingoism with such treasures as a massive gilded eagle and that heroically scaled canvas of Washington crossing the Delaware. Albert Bierstadt's transcendental painting of an untrammeled Yosemite will warm the Bluest of hearts, as will Edward Hicks's harmonious wildlife scenes from the 1830s, which beat Rousseau to the surreal-nature punch by about 70 years. You'll find all this national... More »

  • 2008 | Best Place to Say Good Riddance to Bush

    Commune with a 5,500-year-old ceramic ram's head or an even older stone fertility figure in the Metropolitan Museum's Ancient Near Eastern Art galleries, and you'll get a sense of what was lost when U.S. troops were ordered to stand down while mobs looted the Baghdad Museum in 2003. Donald Rumsfeld dismissed the destruction with "Stuff happens," but Oxford archaeologist Eleanor Robson compared it to "the Mongol sacking of Baghdad in 1258, and the fifth-century destruction of the libr...

  • 2006 | Best place to see decaying masterpieces and forgeries

    Of the four Albert Pinkham Ryders on display in the Metropolitan Museum's study collection (tucked into the mezzanine under the American Wing and open to the public), only one was actually painted by the New York visionary of crepuscular landscapes and darkling ships under jaundiced moons--and it is falling apart. Ryder (1847–1917) influenced many artists--from regional scene painters to Jackson Pollock--but he was an atrocious technician, applying bitumen (a tarry... More »

  • 2006 | Best surprise venue for cabaret concerts

    Who says Mary Cassatt had nothing in common with Cole Porter? Proof to the contrary: Show music, lovingly rendered in high cabaret style by Steve Ross, has become a regular feature of the Metropolitan Museum Concerts. This season, the first of Ross's two forays, on January 12, 2007, will be keyed to the Met's exhibition, "Americans in Paris, 1860–1900," so you can check out the Eakinses and Sargents before you scurry through the Egyptian wing for a hit of Rodgers & Hart, Porter, and...

  • 2000 | Best Public Place for Masturbation

    The arousal begins in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Great Hall, erected with such robust buttresses and ample arches in 1870. Then, enter the accepting folds of the galleries, one inside of the next inside of the next, to explore your way through 5000 years of art--the mysteries of the Temple of Dendur, a genteel reverie in the Renaissance beds, the yielding petals of Georgia O'Keeffe. Paintings by Blake or Bosch or Botticelli indulge fetishes from Munchkin sodomites to a... More »
