Visual Art Judd and the Taxicab
posted by on January 7 at 9:27 AM
Back in early December, while I was guesting on Modern Art Notes, I posted a love letter to an art collection held almost entirely underground in my hometown of Albany, New York.
At the time, I wished I’d had images of a beautiful Conrad Marca-Relli collage-painting (Marca-Relli was a pal of de Kooning, Kline, and the gang on Tenth Street), and the incredible pairing of a Donald Judd and an early New York City taxicab inside the state history museum.
Thanks to Martin Bromirski at the great Anaba (which reminds me—I do seriously need to update my blogroll, and I will), here are the pictures.
The Marca-Relli:
Judd and cab (look at that!):
From beneath the Judd, looking upward through it:
Hey just installed a new work of art in my living room: I have a ketchup bottle (red!) and a toy fire truck (red, too!) that has a shining RED LIGHT ON IT!!!
And to really nail it, I have THE JUDDS playing on continuous loop from my brushed-silver covered Bang & Olufsen sonic delivery device.
Coming to a Jen Graves column soon -- stay tuned.
One question for the poster -- you show a picture frightfully reminiscent of what I saw when I had my last mycologic experience (freshman in college). However, to get that shot, it appears you would have to slide under the protective rail in front of the piece. Thus, my question:
Do you support touching art in the Scuplture Park?

Oh. I thought it was gonna be about Judd Hirsch.
The light in that view of the Judd is pretty amazing.
When you said Judd and a Taxi, I immediately thought of something more like this.
OK, that's TWO Judd Hirsch jokes that got there before me. I'm slowing up.
