Their gift shop is selling a small (about 5" X 3") French porcelain dish/tray that we liked - until we saw the price: $150. Brant-haters will have fun with this display it's almost worth the price of admission. Peter Brant himself is the subject of a ridiculous percentage of these celebrity photos. This show contains a wall of Warhol Polaroids of celebrities, and the museum provides a listing identifying whom each photo depicts.
ANDY WARHOL MUSEUM PROMO CODE FULL
But my sense is that this particular Warhol show, although great-to-see and full of nice work, is, even by Warhol standards, a bit "lite."ĥ. Of course, you could make this point about all Warhol - his whole schtick was about depicting only the surface (it's called "Pop Art" for a reason). This show features many artworks, but few of these particular ones inspire contemplation (for example, one of the biggest is a wall-size piece of army camouflage: How long can anyone study that?). But I walked through this Warhol show a lot faster than I'd gotten through the Basquiat show, and afterwards, I thought about the Warhol pieces a lot less. pm rate if you prefer not to fund Brant any more than necessary). It's great and I urge you to see it (at the $5 Thu. Brant's Basquiat show was amazing and thought-provoking I saw it a few times. Obviously, the point is that if a NYC museum puts on an exhibit of art by a quintessentially NYC artist, it's absurd to criticize that museum for not being sufficiently local.Ĥ. Pretty soon, you'd paint yourselves into the corner of arguing that the only artist the Foundation can appropriately exhibit is Walter de Maria (whose studio was what is now the Brant building). If Brant only featured EV artists, some of you would complain that it wasn't featuring enough artists from East 6th Street. The Brant Foundation is in NYC, so by doing a Warhol exhibit, the Foundation is spotlighting a hometown local. Basquiat has deep enough EV roots to be called an EV artist, and Warhol is an NYC artist. If we drop the tax issue, we're back to point # 1, above.ģ.
That said, he might've served hard time years ago on a tax beef, but no one seems to be making anything of that here.) If the Brant Foundation is a great feature of the EV (and yes, it is), then Peter Brant's tax returns don't diminish that.

(No one is accusing him of tax fraud rather, you're accusing him of crafty tax code compliance. The Brant Foundation is apparently tax-driven, but if you don't like that, change the US tax code - don't blame Peter Brant for COMPLYING with the tax code. If you don't like the artists featured at the Brant Foundation, then the Brant Foundation isn't your cup of tea. I'm with Anon./9:35, MrNiceGuy and Sarah these thoughts just amplify their points:ġ.
