In Museums

Published: October 1, 2009
"John Baldessari: Pure Beauty," Tate Modern, October 13 - January 10, 2010.

This major exhibition covers all periods of the Los Angeles-based artist’s work, from his early days as a pioneer of Conceptualism to the present. Included is one of his many gems, I Will Not Make Any More Boring Art, 1971, a video in which Baldessari writes the title sentence repeatedly.

"Anish Kapoor," Royal Academy, September 26 - December 11.

This highly anticipated show spans the career of the British sculptor, from early works such as White Sand, Red Millet, Many Flowers, 1982, to a cannon that shoots wax against the walls, on view here for the first time.

"Pop Life: Art in a Material World," Tate Modern, October 1 - January 17, 2010.

Taking a look at artists who treat their output as products and their personas as brands, this exhibition includes work by Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons and Andy Warhol, plus a new commission by Takashi Murakami.
