'went with Sara and Endi to the opening reception of "Barnstormers" last evening. I was reminded why I generally avoid openings, as it is difficult to focus on the art. I will return to really check it out, but my initial impression was that though there was much work that was disappointing, there was enough that was so good that it more than made up for it. A favorite included this wonderful piece by Dennis Mcnett. It -- alone -- is worth a visit to the exhibit. It continues through April 17th at 548 West 28th Street.

Dan Witz @ Jonathan LeVine
This piece is so realistic, I almost mistook it for a photograph. I'm familiar with Dan Witz's images that have appeared on the streets, but was amazed by his "photorealistic" painting skills. So impressive and so stunning --

Ron English @ Jonathan LeVine
I was never a fan of Ron English. Pop surrealism generally doesn't work for me, and I really disliked his Obama/Lincoln portrait, But I love this one. The juxposition of this character against this suburban setting is brilliant!

New to Chelsea
While walking in the rain yesterday from Jonathan LeVine's gallery to the Keith Haring 20th Anniversary exhibit, Moriah and I came across this. We were both mesmerized. From a distance, I thought it might have been a wheat paste, but it was clearly painted. 'wondering if it's by Ethos --
Keith Haring, 20th Anniversary
In commemoration of the 20th anniversary of Keith Haring's death, the Tony Shafrazi Gallery is exhibiting an eclectic selection of Haring's work. New to me are the many sculptures. This is probably my favorite one. The exhibit continues through April 10th at 544 West 26th Street.

That Door on Rivington Street/A New Guy in Town
Whenever I'm on Rivington Street, I check out the door where I first saw a Swoon paste-up. The latest layer is this somewhat gory Superman. A few hours after spotting him here, we saw him in the Meatpacking District on West 13th Street.
