Marc Newson at the Gagosian Gallery, New York

Marc_newson_1 A work colleague invited me to an interesting art/design exhibition of the highly-regarded young industrial designer, Marc Newson in New York’s west side. It was one of those moments when I thought, Doh!, I wish I had my camera/cameraphone with me so I could capture not only the artwork but also the truly fabulous crowd that had assembled to pay hommage to this young talent. I am still getting used to always being ready to capture the cool moments  that sometimes happen unexpectedly. In any case, I really like this cool shelf that kind of looks like a giant piece of industrial honey-comb.

To be honest, I am not sure I understand exactly how the business of that whole exhibition worked, as it was an absolutely enormous space with less than 10 pieces being shown, in addition to a West-Coast pop art Surfing Video meets sleek industrial design Installation. There must have been at least 500 people there, but really not that much to see in terms of art. I think most people were enjoying the people-watching as much as I was.
