They had a large exhibit of Mark Rothko's work (very famous, 1903-1970), but his style was really nothing that moved me. Most of his later pieces, there were 45 in all on display, looked something like this...
His earlier work I enjoyed more. They were of figures, the subways, and a few still lifes. I think this was my favorite one by him....
There was a large exhibit by John Frame as well. The lighting on it was incredible, and worth seeing just for that. All his lighting, even in the videos he does, I found to be outstanding. They had all his characters in cases on stands in a dark room with soft spot lights on each. I had never seen any of his work before, and he was actually there and while we watched his movie we listened to him talk. He created a stop motion movie using his hand crafted characters and sets. The figures ranged in size, the largest being about a foot tall, the craftsmanship utterly amazing. Very odd, but very meticulous and intricate. My way of describing his work would be Geppetto-meets-Tim Burton. It is very strange, and I found it a bit pointless, but magnificently executed. Even though I didn't "get" his movie, I thought it was incredibly well done, and all his work was very fun to look at. I just hope A&A didn't get nightmares.

Here is the video we watched. There is more on YouTube, and HERE is his website if you are interested. On his page under the "Making Of" tab there is a video called, "Happy Medium" that shows him creating one of his pieces. The part showing him putting together a hand, I had to watch a few times. Mind-blowing.

Wow! What a weird video, but amazing and definately worth watching. I 'd love to hear the artists meaning behind it all. The vid, I imagine, just gives us a peak into his mind.
