last week i drove up to millbrook, new york, to hang out with my friend and former dealer, andrew miller. he renovated a stone barn a few years ago and it's a truely awesome space. we ate giant ribeyes and went through 3 bottles of good st.emilion. and a few martinis. next day after bacon and eggs, we drove down to beacon to check out the dia center. in a word: amazing...

if you don't know much about michael heizer, try to find out as much as you can. the man's vision and his art is as profound as his ambition. of particular note, his piece magalith #5, rates for me as one of the most important sculptural statements of this century. the work includes a vertical recession into the wall of the gallery, maybe 18 feet high and lined with steel. inside the recession is anchored a boulder filling the vertical space. you can't really write a description about something this intense and pass it off. yes, i've written before about first hand experience with art, but this is taking that idea to a new level... i'll get back to this, not to mention the awesome holdings of serra, agnes martin, bob ryman, etc...
