Boston - Back Bay: Boston Public Library McKim Building - Wiggin Gallery Dioramas - George Bellows' Stag at Sharkeys
photo galleries
Image by wallyg
George Bellows, shown in the foreground, watches the boxing match which gave him the subject of his 1917, Stag at Sharkey's. The scene shows a prize fight, known as a ‘stag’, being held at a private club. The boxers are arranged in a strong, pyramid-like composition, recalling classical sculpture. The force of their action is illustrated by interlocking forms and bold diagonal lines. Bellows' lithograph portraying the fight is part of a complete sequence of his prints in the Wiggin Collection.

Located in a dark corner in the Wiggin GLocated in a dark corner in the Wiggins Gallery, twelve dioramas created by Louis Stimson in the 1940's depict artists in the midst of painting some of their most famous works. The Albert H. Wiggin Gallery, originally devoted to special collections, was given over to the exhibiting of prints in 1941 when Mr. Wiggin, a Boston born New York financier, gave the Library his collection of prints and drawings.

The Boston Public Library McKim Building, located on Boylston Street between Dartmouth and Exeter Streets, was built in 1895 by Charles Follen McKim of McKim, Mead & White. Consisting of a three-story, monumental free-standing block in the style of an Italian Renaissance palace surrounding an open courtyard, McKim's design was one of the earliest successful examples of Renaissance Beaux-Arts Classicism in America, and set the precedent for grand scale urban libraries. In 1972, the Philip Johnson-designed late modernist wing was added to the Central Library location. The Boston Public Library system, established in 1848, was the country's first publicly supported municipal library, its first large library open to the public and its first to allow citizens to borrow books. There are currently twenty-six branches in the system.

The Dean Gallery, Edinburgh, in its own grounds directly across from the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (also in its own grounds in a leafy part of the city), having the two next to each other makes for a pleasant art space in a lovely part of town (if you are a tourist check the National Gallery of Scotland, more centrally located on the Mound, as there is often a free small bus that shuttles around from there to these galleries and back). The Dean is home to work from one of Edinburgh's famous artistic sons, Eduardo Paolozzi, including an incredible 2-storey high 'steel giant' statue (I love it, shame they're not fond of taking photos inside, would love to shoot it) and a recreation of his studio, complete with many pieces he donated himself, it's a real pleasure to stand and stare at the clutter of this studio of his, like a little glimpse into his mind and his inspirations, well worth a visit. Nice cafe too, as has the Gallery of Modern Art across the road.


Ikon Gallery - during my works party - stray balloon

Shots of the Ikon Gallery taken during my works 25th anniversary party.

I was officially taking photos for my company. I will copy those pictures and give the shots to them.

These are just architectural and sculptural interiors.

The Ikon Gallery is a English gallery of contemporary art located in Brindleyplace, Birmingham. It is housed in the former building of the Oozells Street Boarding School, designed by John Henry Chamberlain in 1877.

A square in Brindley place named after the nearby Oozells Street. It features a channel of still water lined by cherry trees. Paul de Monchaux designed the stone sculpted seats and pergola which are located in the square.

It is a Grade II listed building in a neo-gothic style.

1877, by Martin and Chamberlain. Former board school in a Ruskiman Gothic style. Red brick; tiled roof. Three storeys; 4 bays, those on the right and left advanced somewhat and lower than the others. That on the right is gabled, but that on the left apsidal. The inner 2 bays also gabled. The windows here arranged as triplets and, elsewhere, with pointed arches. In the tympana of the first floor windows some tiles. Above and behind the apsidal turret formerly a saddle-back roofed tower.

When listed in 1981 it was the Furniture Stores Of City Of Birmingham Education Department.

Oozells Street Boarding School - Heritage Gateway

Oozells Square. On the east, the Ikon Gallery. This was Oozells Street School, by Martin & Chamberlain. 1877 in Ruskinian Gothic with east wing added 1898. The confined site dictated a compact three-storey block. Renewed sash windows, stone and tile tympana in pointed openings, typical naturalistic sculpture. Converted by Levitt Bernstein, 1997. They reinstated the tower, removed in the 1960s, to the original design, and added glass north and south extensions for lifts and stairs: tough additions to a tough building. Inside, new and old spaces flow intriguingly. New floors inserted in the main classrooms and hall, but 19th century roofs visible on the second floor. Big wooden arch braces and iron ties, but the 1898 wing has iron arches. New entrance in the north west turret, cut in awkwardly.

Shots taken before guests arrived.

A balloon didn't get tied down to the balloon weight and balloon string. They were trying to get it down.

Not sure if they burst it as I went downstairs to take my coat off.

Washington DC: National Gallery of Art - East Building
photo galleries
Image by wallyg
The National Gallery of Art, administered by the Smithsonian Institute, was established on the National in 1938 by the United States Congress with funds for construction and a substantial art collection donated by Andrew W. Mellon, major art works donated by Lessing J. Rosenwald, Italian art contributions from Samuel Henry Kress, and more than 2,000 sculptures, paintings, pieces of decorative art, and porcelains from Joseph E. Widener.

The museum comprises two building, the West Building, and the East Building, which are linked by a spacious underground concourse resting beneath a series of terahedron "crystal" skylights. The West Building, composed of pink Tennessee marble, was designed in 1937 by architect John Russell Pope. Pope’s neoclassical style features a central pavilion with a gigantic columned portico and a massive dome, flanked by large, symmetrical east and west wings. In contrast, East Building, which was designed in 1978 by I.M. Pei, is sharply geometrical and fragmented. The H-shaped façade is similarly faced in pink marble from the same quarry. To emphasize the sharp angles, though, lighter stone was used for the vertical corners. The sharp fin of the west corner cleaves the air at an angle of 19.5 degrees and rises 107 feet above ground.

The West Building has an extensive collection of paintings and sculptures by European masters from the medieval period through the late 19th century, as well as pre-20th century works by American artists. The East Building focuses on modern and contemporary art. The East Building also contains the main offices of the NGA and a large research facility, Center for the Advanced Study in the Visual Arts (CASVA). To the west of the West Building, across Seventh Street, is the 6.1 acres Sculpture Garden, centered on a large circular fountain (an ice rink in the winter) surrounded by stone seating.

The Smithsonian Institution, an educational and research institute and associated museum complex, administered and funded by the government of the United States and by funds from its endowment, contributions, and profits from its shops and its magazines, was established in 1846. Although concentrated in Washington DC, its collection of over 136 million items is spread through 19 museums, a zoo, and nine research centers from New York to Panama.

Sweet, Sweet Galaxy by Pip & Pop

Smiths Row, The Market Cross, Cornhill, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP33 1BT
Tel: +44 (0) 1284 762081

We are happy to welcome Australian artists Tanya Schultz, Nicole Andrijevic and John Kassab to Smiths Row in what is their first major British show. Schultz and Andrijevic have worked in collaboration since 2007 using the alias Pip & Pop and this is their second collaboration with sound artist Kassab.

Sweet sweet galaxy is a unique installation depicting an infinite psychedelic landscape. An amalgamation of numerous materials including coloured sugar, fine sand, cake decorations, origami, found objects, LED lights and sound, this colourful sensory kingdom will be constructed directly in the gallery space in early January.

The soundscape, created in collaboration with Melbourne-based John Kassab, adds another layer of immersion to the audience experience and sense of being transported to a faraway or imagined place. Whilst the soundscape adds to the narrative of the imagined landscape, interpreting the sounds with sugar has been central to Pip & Pop's process when working with John.

The sugar used in this exhibition has been kindly donated by Silverspoon. As the sole producers of homegrown British sugar the company supports 1200 East Anglian beet farmers. According to Dan Gough of Silverspoon: "the sugar used in this exhibition was grown an average of 30 miles away from the gallery".

St. Johnsbury Athenæum (1871) – gallery wing (1873)
photo galleries
Image by origamidon
1171 Main Street, St. Johnsbury, Vermont USA • The St. Johnsbury Athenæum is a private, nonprofit public library and art gallery located in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The Athenæum fills two roles: it serves the people of St. Johnsbury by enriching their lives, and it stands as a regional and national treasure - a monument to the nineteenth-century belief in learning. The Athenæum is a legacy of the Fairbanks Family of St. Johnsbury, inventors and manufacturers of the world's first platform scale, who gave the Athenæum to the trustees of the institution in 1871. With his wealth Horace Fairbanks created a center of culture for the people of his town - a true "athenaeum." – From the Athenæum's website.

The Athenæum's construction (1868-1873), its collection of American landscape paintings and books, its original role as a public library and free art gallery, and the industrial origins of the fortune that provided it, all contribute to the national significance of the building. The art collection contains a number of Hudson River School paintings. This unaltered building retains a strong, elegant Victorian flavor of the 19th century. – From the National Historic Landmark Statement of Significance.

☞ On July 18, 1996, the National Park Service added this structure to the National Register of Historic Places (#96000970).

☞ Also, on July 18, 1996, the National Park Service designated this structure a National Historic Landmark.

National Historic Landmarks are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. Today, fewer than 2,500 historic places bear this national distinction, [and only 17 in Vermont ]. Working with citizens throughout the nation, the National Historic Landmarks Program draws upon the expertise of National Park Service staff who work to nominate new landmarks and provide assistance to existing landmarks.

National Historic Landmarks are exceptional places. They form a common bond between all Americans. While there are many historic places across the nation, only a small number have meaning to all Americans--these we call our National Historic Landmarks.
– from the National Park Service.
