First a rant - No one reads paper newspapers anymore. In the heart of Williams Collegetown, one of America's academic gems, the last bookstore/magazine/newspaper shop shuttered its shutters, what are we coming to?
Anyway, we spent the day immersed in art and very good art indeed at the Clark in Williamstown MA (great abstract paintings from the Mellon as we called it), the Williams College Art Museum (which showed the 80 works it lends out a year to students for their rooms - what a great idea!), MASS MoCA (I was bedazzled by Izhar Patkin's works [best exhibition of the decade say I] and Colette loved the works by Teresita Fernández - question - Why cannot the Whitney's Biennale do stuff like this? - and the Amherst College Mead Art Museum's precious albeit small collection.
But then one must feed the other beast, so to lunch, at the Gramercy Bistro @ MASS MoCA where we've been dining since 2008 at their various locations. It seemed to me today that the menu was lighter (and healthier) than in years past.
