First, the ones that have already come and gone, but are still worth mentioning because they were so incredible:
Alexander McQueen's "Savage Beauty" at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. I desperately wanted to see this one but just couldn't swing it. Fortunately, the catalog is still available here.
"Art in the Streets" at MOCA's Geffen Contemporary just shut down last week. I saw this one and it was incredible. I bought the catalog here.
At the Orange County Museum of Art, the Alexander Calder Exhibit "Alexander Calder and Contemporary Art: Form, Balance, Joy" continues until September 4, 2011. I always find Calder's work so whimsical and intriguing and plan to visit very, very soon.
Isamu Noguchi can be seen at the Laguna Art Museum exhibit "Noguchi: California Legacy" through October 2, 2011. I have yet to go, although I did enjoy seeing Noguchi's sculpture garden near South Coast Plaza, right here.
Most of us are vaguely familiar with Tim Burton or his work. To learn more about this incredibly unique man (or, as some have said, creative genius), a visit to LACMA's Tim Burton exhibit (running through October 31, 2011) might be in order.
And a few more random, catch them if you can's:
(1) The Bodies exhibition, currently on view at the Luxor in Las Vegas: from what I've heard, this one is pretty incredible!
(2) The Miller House and Garden in Columbus, Indiana. Built by Eero Saarinen and recognized as a National Historic Landmark, this amazing residence was just recently opened to the public. It has been well preserved and provides a view into some incredible modernist design.
(3) "Who Gets to Call it Art?" a look at the 60's art world and Henry Geldzahler, the first "contemporary art" curator for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I saw this documentary ages ago and really enjoyed it - perhaps another viewing is in order!
