A DAY AT THE MoMA

I am not sure how I missed the debut of this one, but I certainly will not miss the exhibit all together. Pictures by Women: A History of Modern Photography is currently showing , and has been since March 7th, 2010, and will end on April 4th, 2011. This collection of work created by women artists spans a very large period of time. May this generation of women artist, as well as the next, get inspired to create. if you find yourself yearning to take a piece of the exhibit home with you, vist the MOMA store and purchase, "Modern Women: Women Artists at The Museum of Modern Art" by Alexandra Schwartz. The book is said to consist of many essays that discuss much of the works on display in the exhibit. For detailed information on the exhibit visit WWW.MoMA.org.

After spending the morning with Georgia O'Keefe and Yoko Ono, end the day on the museums sixth floor at the, Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures Exhibit, which will be showing from December 19, 2010 to March 21, 2011. There is so much to view within this exhibit that planning ahead of time and knowing what you would like to view first will certainly work to your benefit. The films being shown in this exhibit debut and play on certain dates and times. For more information on the exhibit and what it has in store visit www.MoMA.org. As a result of all of the different films and works being displayed more than one visit may certainly be necessary.

Look: Cocotay Jewels

I just couldn’t resist. When I first saw the jewelry created by CocoTay (twins btw), I felt like a little girl again, all too eager to pile on as many pieces as I could. The pieces are just the right amount of glam mixed with the perfect dose of opulence, or, at least the pieces look mega expensive. Kind of like your grandmother’s jewels, if you were born into a royal family (I know the imagination is in overdrive). Many of the pieces created by the design duo, Coco & Tay consist of recycled gems that are used in new designs. Affordable, Dazzling, Eco-chic and versatile. What more could you ask for? Shop for Cocotay at Cocotay.com, and Charm&Chain.com.
