ART I LIKE #50: Jeremy Frey's baskets seen on a visit to the Art Institute of Chicago. Always happy when basketry or quilting or glass-blowing gets a shout-out from a major arts organization. The play with form and pattern, the care of craft! Like pots, the baskets really come alive in groups. #art
ART I LIKE #49: Peter Reginato's sculpture is sproingy & colorful while still very modern. When he paints in enamels—pouring and dripping he makes his own visual language out of bars of color, loops, lobes, and lines. I love the alternating crowded and open spaces and—wow the color pallatte! #art
ART I LIKE #47: Cate Simmons, Persephone's Journey. Kara Walker's not the only artist breathing life into the old silhouette form. I proposed this for the annual English Department tee shirt one year, but a colleague really put her foot down about Virginia Woolf, so we went that way instead. #art
ART I LIKE #46: In a film I once saw a curator ashamed to admit how much Emily Young's work won him over—carving stone was, in his opinion, old hat. Young likes the work to look old—fragments are part of the aesthetic. She also understands that stone by itself is hard to beat for beauty. #sculpture
ART I LIKE #45: Leopold Segedin, Follow the Leader. Part of a series set in west side Chicago where Segedin grew up in. The women in this image belong in their environment, either matching its colors or complimenting them. The grey-suited men are as out of place in color as in gesture. #chicagoart
ART I LIKE #44: Birds, Eggs & Dominoes with Pyramid, 1963. Abercrombie was known as the "queen of the bohemian artists" in midcentury Chicago & had a vocabulary of figures—cats, moons, clouds, pyramids–that she turned into landscapes charged with meaning always about to be revealed. #surrealism #art
