The Modern Art Notes Podcast

Garry Winogrand, Woman with Teardrop Earring, 1975.

On the second segment of this week’s show, Denver Art Museum curator Eric Paddock and I discuss photographer Garry Winogrand. Fifty photographs from Winogrand’s “Women are Beautiful” series are on view now at the Denver Art Museum.

The show’s lead guest is Mitch Epstein. His work is in the collection of virtually every major museum in the world. He was the winner of the 2011 Prix Pictet for his series “American Power.” His most recent work, an examination of the trees of New York City, is on view now at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. in Chelsea.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Larry Bell, who joins me to discuss his career as one of the foremost sculptors of the post-war period. Bell, 72, was a key pivot between hard-edge painting, light-and-space, and minimalism, which Bell anticipated in his sculpture of the late 1950s. Bell’s work is in the collection of virtually every major museum of modern and contemporary art.

This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features Huntington curator Jennifer A. Watts, a leading expert on Carleton Watkins. Watts contributed two essays to “Carleton Watkins: The Complete Mammoth Photographs,” which was recently published by the Getty.
