With his item titled “Walker on a photo-acquiring mini-spree,” Tyler Green at Modern Art Notes gives the skinny on some of our newest acquisitions, including this giant Gursky, almost 7′ x 8′ — and, as always, a few nuggets of his always-unvarnished opinion.
Look for stories and blog posts coming up about some of these works and other pieces destined to become part of our collection. For now, here are links to a few previous articles about acquisitions: an overview about “Composing the Contemporary Collection”; Phillippe Vergne’s pithy and piquant take on a recently acquired piece by Richard Prince (in conjunction with his retrospective here last summer), and a piece on Joann Verburg, whose survey traveled here last winter, and whose photos are mentioned by Green.
