Episode No. 631 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features curators Anne Umland and Kelly Montana.
Umland is the curator of “Picasso in Fontainebleau” at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition examines work Pablo Picasso made during the summer of 1921 in Fontainebleau, an exurb of Paris. It reunites four major works on canvas, both versions of Three Musicians and Three Women at the Spring. The exhibition is on view through February 17, 2024. Umland was assisted by Alexandra Morrison and Francesca Ferrari. The excellent catalogue was published by MoMA. Bookshop and Amazon offer it for $55-60.
Montana is the curator of “Hanne Darboven — Writing Time” at the Menil Collection in Houston. The exhibition explores three kinds of work Darboven produced — abstract drawings, date calculations, and monumental installations — and explains how they were informed by Darboven’s involvement in New York’s embrace of conceptualism in the 1960s. The exhibition is on view through February 11, 2024. A fine exhibition catalogue was published by the Menil. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for about $35.
Air date: December 7, 2023.
