  • In the Galleries - Contemporary German Art: Selections from the Permanent Collection

    In the Galleries - Contemporary German Art: Selections from the Permanent Collection

    By Jessica Baran | Thu, May 23, 2013

    This exhibition of sixteen artworks from post-unified Germany does not overtly speak to the political tumult of their cultural origins — and that may precisely be the point. Ranging in media from painting and sculptural installation to... More »

    In the Galleries - Georges Braque CLOSES April 21 at the Mildred Lane Kemper

    Thu, April 18, 2013

    The dogged awkwardness of Cubist pioneer Georges Braque is chronicled with an affectionate and (literally) microscopic lens in this collection of World War II-era still lifes. Tracking the artist — almost best known for perpetually falling under... More »

  • Braque Is Back

    Braque Is Back

    By Alex Weir | Thu, January 24, 2013

    Whereas Jonathan Richman and Paul McCartney both wrote songs referencing Pablo Picasso, we don't know of any popular music that alludes to Georges Braque. The Spaniard Picasso and the Frenchman Braque jointly pioneered cubism, yet it's the former... More »

  • In the Galleries - Notations: Contemporary Drawing as Idea and Process CLOSES January 7 at Kemper

    In the Galleries - Notations: Contemporary Drawing as Idea and Process CLOSES January 7 at Kemper

    By Jessica Baran | Thu, January 03, 2013

    Notations: Contemporary Drawing as Idea and Process In an era driven by conceptualism and abstraction, where does a medium that was once devoted to pastoral sketches, figure drawing and plotting out large-scale paintings fit in? This survey of... More »

  • Marking the Evolution of Drawing

    Marking the Evolution of Drawing

    By Paul Friswold | Thu, September 20, 2012

    The art of drawing changed after World War II. It was not the physical act of drawing that changed -- it's still fundamentally a hand-on-pencil-on-paper process -- but rather the intent of the person making the drawing. As successive waves of... More »

  • 2008 | Best Museum Exhibition

    Cavemen pondering a pot of gold, jailbirds plotting their escape with a pickax, comic-strip frogs and headless inspectors -- for a few months last spring St. Louis got an oversize-canvas look at the extraordinary work of Los Angeles artist Thaddeus Strode. Strode grew up surfing and skating in Southern California, and his work incorporates the pop-cultural iconography of comics -- think of the quintessential moonshine-sipping hillbilly, or the masked and corpulent executioner. But... More »

  • 2007 | Best Museum

    In the past five years, Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson's site-specific work has been exhibited at the Tate Modern in London, the Gallery Koyanagi in Tokyo, San Francisco's MOMA and...the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University in St. Louis. Wash. U.'s campus gallery packs more punch than you'd imagine. Like most of Eliasson's work, Your Imploded View, purchased for the Kemper's new Fumihiko Maki-designed location in 2006, toys with space and your senses. It's a 600-pound... More »

  • 2005 | Best Museum Exhibition

    By virtue of its name change, the former Washington University Gallery of Art now qualifies as a museum, but it matters not: Inside Out Loud was the best exhibition anywhere this year. Curated by Janine Mileaf of Swarthmore College, this incredible survey brought together poetic and harrowing works by an impressive roster of artists including Orlan, Gran Fury, Nan Goldin, Mark Dion, Hannah Wilke and Cindy Sherman. But Inside Out Loud was more than an exhibition: It was a choreographed... More »
