There is a sense of fluidity, deeply rooted in canon of western art. That virtuosity is met with directions and means. Glier have applied incongruent techniques of painting and drawing which span over centuries in art history. But oddly, they not only are sensible aesthetically, but also speak authoritatively.
The show coincides with an election stirred by a rhetoric promoting nationalism, in the phrase of "America First". Apolitical as it may seem, Talavera pottery states that cultural identities are sediments of innovation and development, through generations of both indigenous and foreign minds, all becoming possible when the world revolves into one global community.

Ernst van de Wetering, long-time head of the Netherlands-based Rembrandt Research Project, unequivocally attributed it in a recent publication. However, even the affirmation won't end the debate over this … Continue reading Yes, It’s a Rembrandt, Probably
I've often thought that history should be taught backwards. Start with our place in time and trace the steps back. Of course, that would be hard to do with museums. We don't know quite what from our own time deserves collecting. We also don't know quite where we are in the particular paradigm of art. … Continue reading On the Idea of a Modern Art Museum
Visitors will later encounter a dozen or so luminous beach scene paintings in one room.
