Talk of the Town: Portraits by Edward Steichen From the Hollander Collection
|
|
From 1900 through the 1960s, Edward Steichen photographed gowns, buildings, artists, actresses and aircraft characters. Usually the images had an air of seriousness, even if they were melodramatic, like the one of sculptor Auguste Rodin staring at (and posed like) his iconic sculpture The... More >> |

Sam Francis: Five Decades of Abstract Expressionism From California Collections
|
|
Late in the 1950s, when David Rockefeller decided Chase Manhattan Bank should have an art program, Sam Francis was one of the first painters the bank enlisted.

Shaping Power: Luba Masterworks From the Royal Museum for Central Africa
|
|
|

Werner Herzog: Hearsay of the Soul
|

His music is eerie, dreamy, jarring, richly harmonious -- an arresting blend of traditional and experimental classical motifs. Dutch cellist/composer Ernst Reijseger has long been a pioneer in jazz, improvisational and contemporary classical music, appreciated by, among other luminaries, Werner... More >> |

Junipero Serra and the Legacies of the California Missions
|
|
|
Junipero Serra, the Franciscan friar who founded the first missions in California and famously compelled Native Americans to convert through fervent chest-beating, has been exhumed multiple times since his 1784 death. Once in 1882, a friar distributed threads from Serra's dug-up burial stole.... More >> |
