The Art Gallery of Ontario is having an 'Abstract Expressionist New York' exhibit on right now, featuring a bunch of interesting work from the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was an awesome chance to see all these works in Toronto...the exhibit is on until September 4th..Also features work from Jackson Pollock's wife Lee Krasner, Barnett Newman, Rothko, Motherwell, William de Kooning, Louise Bourgeois and many more...
The copyright laws are different in New York or something, so pictures are allowed at this exhibition-if I had known this ahead of time I would have had my camera with me...so these are from the iphone...
