“Talking Art and Music”, Art New Orleans
Inspired by the Southern landscape, the work of visionary “outsiders,” agriculture, social and environmental ironies, New Orleans artist W. Steve Rucker specializes in creating imaginative installations.
“Luis Cruz Azaceta: CAC”, Artforum
What does it mean to isolate one year of an artist’s production? For this exhibition, Dan Cameron has organized a unique retrospective of the prolific local artist Luis Cruz Azaceta. The year selected, 1999, was laden with ethnic and territorial disputes—atrocities in Kosovo, East Timor, Russia, Kashmir, and eastern Congo riddled the globe.
Chihuly: The Art of Dale Chihuly
Dale Chihuly is the most famous and influential artist working in glass today. For more than four decades, he has been the leading figure in this unique art form, fusing traditional craft with fine art, fabrication with the natural environment. Now, in his first major San Francisco exhibition, Chihuly displays a vast array of artworks from many of his signature series (including the Baskets, Seaforms, Persians, Venetians, and more) at both the de Young and Legion of Honor museums. A career-spanning biographical essay by curator Timothy Anglin Burgard and stunning color photography of the works will captivate Chihuly’s myriad fans both new and old.

Invention & Revival: The Colour Drypoints of David Milne & John Hartman
Recognized as of the greatest artists of the mid-twentieth century, David Milne (1882-1953) was the first to develop the multiple-plate colour drypoint. Decades later, John Hartman (b. 1950) was inspired to take up the technique and has produced a remarkable body of prints that shares much in common with Milne’s oeuvre, in aesthetic, geographic, and spiritual terms.
Alec Soth: Sleeping by the Mississippi
Evolving from a series of road trips along the Mississippi River, Alec Soth’s Sleeping by the Mississippi captures America’s iconic yet oft-neglected “third coast.” Soth’s richly descriptive, large-format color photographs present an eclectic mix of individuals, landscapes, and interiors. Sensuous in detail and raw in subject, Sleeping by the Mississippi elicits a consistent mood of loneliness, longing, and reverie.
