Happy 4th of July, 2023!

Happy 4th of July, everyone! I don’t know about you, but I definitely own a red, white and blue tie-dyed T-Shirt that is worn by me on the 4th of July (and on other hot summer days as well). While mine is not as fancy as the very spangly tops seen in the above photo (taken at Smiths Market in the fabulous Salt Lake City, Utah) it is certainly more practical for the NYC weather — which is what’s important! Have fun and stay safe!
Modern Art Monday Presents: Helen Frankenthaler, Wizard

From Situating Helen Frankenthaler’s Wizard by Louise Byrne
Completed in 1963, Helen Frankenthaler’s Wizard stands apart from her then contemporary paintings, with its vertical orientation, body-sized scale, and figural allusion in both name and form. One of the last paintings Frankenthaler worked entirely in oil, Wizard should be understood as a crucial experiment in both method and medium, presaging key changes in Frankenthaler’s established approach. The artist’s works of 1962 show the last influences of didactic expressionism, where apparently unguided drips and blots of oil punctuate wide expanses of unprimed canvas, each piece emerging as an autonomous work.

Asteroid Landed Softly, Salt Lake City

If you don’t know already, it will soon became apparent from my posts that I was recently traveling (on vacation) in the beautiful state of Utah! Our first stop on a ten-day road trip was Salt Lake City, where I was able to see this ‘floating boulder,’ entitled Asteroid Landed Softly (1994) by Japanese artist Kazuo Matsubayashi, from my window at the Marriott hotel!
Aside from being a stunning public landmark, Asteroid Landed Softly is a working sundial that also suggests the image of Southern Utah’s landscape. The sundial works through a slit in the tower (seen in the above photo) as a beam of sunlight is cast on the plaza floor.
The mirrored column supporting the pinkish-brown rock also beautifully reflects the changing faces of the surrounding office buildings and fluctuating weather patterns to offer a limitless number of perspectives that can be captured in photos. I did not realize when I took this particular photo that I had also captured a resting pigeon!
The above photo was taken a bit later in the day, so there’s a complete shadow on the face of the sundial. You can read more about this beautiful and functional work of public art at This Link!
