ArtsJournalBlog: CultureGrrl
Today's site offers the work of culture maven Lee Rosenbaum and her blog for
the Arts Journal. Gentle Subscribers will discover the latest news,
controversies, and events in the realm of culture in North America and abroad.
"[V]eteran cultural journalist ... Wall Street Journal, New York Times and
major art magazines ... and lecturer ... cultural contributor on ... NPR" -
from the website
With engaging frankness Ms. Rosenbaum pulls no punches as she observes the arts
and culture scene. Recently under her gimlet eye have been New York's iconic
Museum of Modern Art's contentious plans for expansion and renovation which can
be followed through the blog's postings and reading more like a soap opera than
a stately arts minuet, while recent articles on famous auction house,
Sotheby's, carry a whiff of "gotcha" enthusiasm with their titles -- Sotheby’s
Eats Crow from the Taubman Sales and more recently, Another Erratic Outing
...the Taubman Old Masters Sale. In a slightly less iconoclastic vein, there
are brief observations on a recent Architects’ Panel on New York City’s
Skyline, and notes on the Getty Museum's acquisition of 17th century artist
Orazio Gentileschi's "Danae" (accent omitted). Additional links lead to Ms.
Rosenbaum's work elsewhere.
