@frieze_magazine Beautiful essay.

[AVA @Ava_Visual_Arts]

Beautifully written essay. Ms. Walker is not only a gifted visual artist; she also has the gift of poetic language.

Once again, the Kansas City art environment 'rocks', both figuratively and literally. So glad @VisitKC and STL are neighbors.

Love that an artist has the cofidence and ability to make art in the landscape, which may never be found or seen by others. True art solely for the sake of art.

"the more derided a work of art at first, the more celebrated it will become.." Excellent and thought provoking quote from this insightful and well considered essay.

[The Art Newspaper @TheArtNewspaper]

Comment | They laughed at Monet’s Impression, Sunrise (1872) when it was first shown: One of the iron rules of art history is that the more derided a work of art at first, the more celebrated it will become, says Bendor Grosvenor @arthistorynews https://t.co/H6dVa63Qdp

[AVA @Ava_Visual_Arts]

@TraceyEmin I relate to this. So much more work produced during 'lockdown'. All the obligatory social distractions gone.

The Greyhound building's classic but foreboding facade is the perfect canvas for artist Bayoc's compelling murals.

“But even in that, I wanted everybody to be able to see something different and I wanted the work to be different. I wanted it to be different than anything anybody's ever seen.” - Cbabi Bayoc

Saw these previously, and I LOVE them! Figge is an example of a regional museum getting it right.

Books can be the keepers of many secrets -- private messages, pressed flowers, contraband, photographs. In the case of this book-shaped flask, the secret is booze. It's not too hard to picture this flask hiding on a bookshelf. #NationalBookMonth https://t.co/JTCGIvQrTf

Always a huge fan of Johnson's work; this one goes on my list.
