Diana Al-Hadid, Spun of the Limits of My Lonely Waltz, 2006, Perry Rubenstein Gallery
One of the best things about working at the Getty is that inspiration is all around--beautiful weather (conducive to mid-day hikes with co-worker-friends), gorgeous landscape, aura of amazing art, and tomes upon volumes upon stacks of books and magazines that pique curiosity. Perusing the periodicals, I was reminded of the work of Diana Al-Hadid. I first saw Al-Hadid featured in ArtNews "Artists to Watch"; she reminds me of Jhumpa Lahiri or Zadie Smith--stunning young women with serious thoughts. (To see more of her work, click link.)
Stunning! Is that at the Getty?
ReplyDeleteNo--the Getty is not that cutting edge... but NYC is!

ReplyDeleteHoorah! Okay, so now I can post something. It wouldn't load the secret letters that let me post so I haven't been able to post a comment for you for days! I love that. It's so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHow inspiring to have friends who are all in the art world and bring it to MY life through their blogs. You guys make me want not only teach art more, but teach art appreciation - which I have absolutely no background in. I wish we had a career day so you could come!
I totally use the books you bought me. They LOVE them and always look at them and pretend to draw them. Thank you forever for the very generous gift.
Love,
Loribeth
When is the next 2nd grade field trip to the Getty :) ?
