Summer Concert Series at #CrystalBridges - first up Cindy Woolf and Mark Bilyeu of Creek Rocks. Second up - The Ozark Mountain Daredevils.
Enjoyed a visit this week to #CrystalBridges Museum of American #Art in #Bentonville, AR. Yayoi Kusama’s #artwork, Infinity Mirrored Room—My Heart is Dancing into the Universe (2018) is on view there, and quite something to experience.

“Second in the Screen Door Sequence: Atticus and Scout” (2015)

I thought this piece was really neat. Jamie Wyeth (son of Andrew Wyeth) paints a scene from ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ on a screen door.

I looked around the final gallery at #CrystalBridges for the plaque identifying this piece, but could not find it.

Still—I can assure you—he is a real boy.

This sculpture by Tara Donovan is made of shirt buttons and glue. Appearing as stalagmites erupting from the floor, this piece made me double take both times I walked by it.

The uneven manner in which the buttons are stacked gives it the appearance that it’s vibrating or out of focus—something I think translates in this perfectly still photograph.

“Sierra Nevada Morning” by Albert Bierstadt (1870)

The scale of this painting is very impressive and deeply immersive. #CrystalBridges

One of my favorite paintings displayed at #CrystalBridges is this one. "It Is Very Queer, Isn't It?" by James Henry Beard (1885).

Its a portrait of the well-known chimpanzee, Mr. Crowley, who lived at the Central Park Zoo from 1884-1888.

The Bachman-Wilson house at #CrystalBridges. Architected by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1954. Moved from New Jersey to Arkansas in the 2010s.

Roughly 20 minutes of sunset in James Turrell’s Skyspace, “The Way of Color,” condensed into as many seconds.

This installation is found on a trail at #CrystalBridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas.
