Devil's Pie

I stopped by David Zwirner gallery this afternoon to check out the new solo show by Chris Ofili. Most people in America remember him from the mid-90s when Giuliani took aim at his "Virgin Mary" piece at the Brooklyn Museum (see below). Well, the bad press didn't turn out to be so bad afterall. Here are a couple of pieces of new work. His voluptuous bronze sculptures were especially nice.

On the walk over I passed the new heavily-frosted Frank Ghery addition to the developing Highline area.

Also some nice Meshell snipe posters.
