    Snark Park X KITH.

    The Snark Park X KITH preview exhibit was an exceptionally Soho type of experience. As we arrived at the store an hour and a half early we were informed that the first 50 people had already claimed the free Snark Park totems. Nonetheless, we still had the opportunity to preview the exhibit. But not without waiting outside in the 13-degree weather for two hours. Plus, while waiting in the line we were approached by a journalist and given an on-the-fly-interview about the event (I would link the interview/magazine but sadly I don’t remember the name).

    The Snark Park X KITH preview exhibit was well worth the wait.

    The preview was held on the second floor of the storefront. It featured four totems all representing something different. Most art is prohibited to touch but Snark Park asks us to “Please Touch the Art”. Additionally, KITH offered everyone attending the preview a free milkshake!

    The event was one for the books!

    You can view the full Snark Park X KITH exhibit in March & April.

    Tickets purchasable here.

    The Whitney Museum of American Art

    The Whitney Museum of American Art currently has an Andy Warhol exhibition on display with over three hundred pieces from Warhol’s life work. The Whitney is an eight-story museum with floors one, three, and five dedicated to the Warhol exhibition.

    The first floor of the Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again exhibit is a single room flooded with portraits of what seems like everyone Andy Warhol has ever encountered. The room is painted a chocolate brown, the perfect backdrop for each distinctly unique portrait.

    Floor three of the Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again exhibit is dedicated to the artist’s career in film. Once you step off of the elevator you’re immediately presented with multiple televisions all screening short films recorded by Mr. Andy Warhol himself. These televisions are accompanied by several classic Warhol paintings. Most notably his portraits of Kim Jung Un.

    The fifth floor of the Whitney Museum of American Art is where all of the action is. This floor is huge and is where most of the Warhol exhibit is displayed. There are works from every era Warhol has impacted. You could spend an hour or two on the fifth floor alone just appreciating the vast amounts of art.

    As for the rest of The Whitney, not included in the Andy Warhol: From A to B and Back Again exhibit, it’s filled with work from some iconic artist past and present. One artist I learned about during my visit was Alice Neel. She is an artist most known for her oil and acrylic paintings, her work evokes emotions that feel like loneliness and satisfaction at the same time.

    To conclude, my experience at the Whitney Museum of American Art was phenomenal. The staff is well informed on the art within the museum and exceedingly helpful. Additionally, anyone eighteen or younger gets free entry to the museum and we love a company that supports the youth!

  • ANDY IS COMING: Series on view at The Whitney Museum.

    ANDY IS COMING: Series on view at The Whitney Museum.

    Andy Warhol is one of the most influential and important artists in the second half of the 20th century. His work has made a major impact in the film, fashion, and art industry. Warhol was a leading figure in the visual art movement also known as POP ART.

    The Andy Warhol series at the Whitney Museum opened November 12th and the exhibit is massive. There are over 350 works on display and there is an off-site display by Dia of the painting “Shadows” (bottom right image).

    Andy Warhol “retired” from painting in 1965, and began working on several different projects. One of those projects included film. He created several short films which are on display in the gallery.

    I highly recommend checking out the exhibit, “Andy Warhol- From A to B and back again”, at the Whitney Museum. It’s on view from November 12th – March 31st, 2019. The exhibition is flooded with decades of culture and emotion.
