In 1951, NY-based photographer Ruth Orkin (1921-19 In 1951, NY-based photographer Ruth Orkin (1921-1985) was traveling abroad on assignment. In Italy, she met Ninalee Craig (known at the time as Jinx Allen), a fellow young American woman - also traveling alone. Orkin snapped a photograph of Allen being stared at as she passed through a group of men which went on to become Ruth Orkin’s most recognizable photograph, ‘An American Girl in Italy.’ (detail of photo pictured)
 
After being included in a Cosmopolitan photo-essay entitled “Don’t be Afraid to Travel Alone” in 1952, the photograph quickly became iconic.
 
‘An American Girl in Italy’ will be a highlight in @bonhams1793 sale “The Photographs of Ruth Orkin: A Centennial Celebration.” 

The online portion of the sale is open for bidding, and the live auction will take place at Bonhams New York on Tuesday, February 2.

Hats off to the cleaning crew, look at that reflection in the floor... not a bad job by the artist either.
Only the 2nd time I’ve seen an Anslam Kiefer art Only the 2nd time I’ve seen an Anslam Kiefer artwork in person and, for the second time, utterly floored. This at @rubellmuseum in @miamiandbeaches.

This mural-sized work features sticks and old seats, charcoal and plaster. It emits a physical, haunting presence. A wasteland. Cold, harsh, unforgiving. 

Kiefer, a German, references the Holocaust in his works, and that’s what I see when I look at them.

Aftermath. Pain. Suffering. Loss. 

Extraordinary artistic vision. 

What kind of artwork “speaks” to me? This definitely does.

Opening tonight at @visitboston’s famous Hatch S Opening tonight at @visitboston’s famous Hatch Shell running every night through Feb. 21, the multi-sensory winter illumination project, “Hatched: Breaking through the Silence.” 

The illumination and sound project from nonprofit organization Esplanade Association provides a family-friendly and physically-distant celebration. Featuring a team of predominantly female-identifying artists and directors, “Hatched” brings an opportunity for underrepresented communities to “break through” and share their skills, vision and voice.

@mariafinkperc leads the effort.
Took a self-guided walking tour of American Beach, Took a self-guided walking tour of American Beach, Florida today, right down the road from where I live on @visitameliaisland. As the 1st purpose built resort for Blacks in @visitflorida and one of only around South, it is a legendary location in the story of America’s Civil Rights movement.

But time and gentrification have been hard on the historic community there. Evans Rendezvous, where Cab Calloway and Ray Charles played, is boarded up and crumbling. Duck’s Hotel and Restaurant is condemned. Feet from them are million dollar homes.

NaNa Dune remains, the tallest dune in Florida, as does Little NaNa Dune, recently acquired for conservation by @nflandtrust. To support NFLT’s acquisition of Little NaNa, visit its website and click the link to “donate” for the “Amelia Forever” campaign. 

American Beach is rich in history, wildlife and possibility. Visit. Think. Imagine.

The bits and pieces of refuse the artist applies to make his work creates a pointillist effect. I dig pointillism and color and this piece of found object artwork.
