BLING a current group exhibition featuring some well known (and very famous) artists, both living and deceased is currently on view at Jim Kempner Fine Art til March 17th. I loved this shows mix of glam and gaudy, old and new, famous and not so famous artists works on view. Starting with John Grande's Transcendence Adorned, an ode to artist Cindy Sherman and the famed fashion and luxury goods brand Louis Vuitton, Carole A. Feuerman's The Teacher the topless sculpture of a woman (swim instructor) a-la glitter/rhinestone swimcap. Jerelyn Hanrahan's photograph of large scale sculpture of Graduated Pearls. The very much "alive and kicking" U.K. born artist Damien Hirst's kaleidescope of butterfly wings Palais Des Papes; Liao Yibai's giant silver high-heeled sculpture Cinderella High Heel. Marilyn Minter's photograph Prism, Bill Owens ode to "grills" The Grill (Teeth), Jeffrey Sims photo-realistic Untitled and last but not least everyone's famously self-important artist Kehinde Wiley, whom I had the pleasure of seeing while he visited The Jewish Museum (read blog post) . Kehinde's After El Greco's (Domenikos Theatakopoulos) The Annuciation. It was a great show and you musn't miss it. Show closes March 17th. - Madame J.
