Chris Ofili’s “Black Grapes” (2004)
I had posted a snippet about Vicki and Kent Logan's "Out of Shape: Stylistic Distortions of the Human Form in Art" exhibit at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center (Vassar College) earlier this year, and here's a link to a nice NY Times review of the show, Bend Me, Misshape Me by Benjamin Genocchio. From the article:
Last summer in a quiet suburb of Vail, Colo., Kent Logan showed off his private gallery to a group of visitors. Around the building were paintings by Andy Warhol and sculpture by Jeff Koons, along with flat files filled with hundreds of precious drawings and works on paper. Mr. Logan said he owned about 1,000 works of art and then politely announced that he had promised much of it to museums.
Now Mr. Logan is sending his art on the road, with exhibitions like “Out of Shape: Stylistic Distortions of the Human Form in Art From the Logan Collection” at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center. It comes on the heels of an exhibition of works from his collection at the Denver Art Museum, a beneficiary of his largess, along with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
