Notes and Queries
Visit the Notes and Queries art blog.
Notes and Queries serves-up news about art, film, and literature, and focuses mainly on the New York art scene. The posts are a mixture of the author’s own commentary and sourced content. The art blog itself is like a well-formed scrapbook, featuring everything from reviews to interview, and incorporating text, images and videos.
The blog also provides lots of useful information on The Drawing Center. The Center is a not-for-profit gallery, and is the only one in the USA to focus solely on exhibiting drawing. Exhibitions draw attention to the importance of contemporary drawings by comparing the work to past greats.
