The sun has come out today! And, hopefully, we will have a comfortable week through Sunday. Let's get to some art exhibitions, shall we?
Closing on Saturday, February 20th -
William Kentridge: More Sweetly Play the Dance at
Marian Goodman Gallery, 24 West 57th St. Two videos and props from the videos on view:
More Sweetly Play the Dance (2015) and
Notes Toward a Model Opera (2015). As always, this South African artist delivers one of the best shows this season, because he is one of the best artists of our time.
Please do not miss this excellent show.

And while you are in the building, please visit

Richard Avedon, Jacqueline de Ribes in Yves Saint-Laurent, 1962
French aristocrat
Jacqueline de Ribes (born Jacqueline Bonnin de La Bonninière de Beaumont on Bastille Day, July 14, 1929 and married to Vicomte Edouard de Ribes in 1948) became one of the most important fashion icons of her time, as well as a successful designer, businesswoman and philanthropist. The Metropolitan Museum's exhibition of her dreamy clothes warms our hearts come rain, snow or bitter cold. Closing on Sunday, February 21. So hurry!
