I absolutely love the Brant Foundation in the East Village. Years back, they featured Brant’s collection of Basquiat, and it was so amazing that I went back 3 or 4 times (with my girlfriends, kids, my brother, etc…). The space of the foundation itself is magical and beautiful, and the artwork itself is incredible. So, this past weekend, I went with my son and his brother-from-another-mother (aka his best friend), and we visited the newest exhibition, Andy Warhol. This collection contains over 100 pieces of artwork — all but one personally owned by Peter Brant. The only piece of art not owned by Brant is this huge Mao silkscreen on loan by The Met (and Brant donated it to the Met years ago). This exhibit is open to the public until July 31st and I HIGHLY recommend going. Plus, there are so many fun and different restaurants nearby, that you can make it an extra special outing!
You start on the top floor (4th) and then walk down the stairs to the rest of the floors.
The dosents that work there are extremely informative and helpful and we learned so much from them.
The boys loved looking at the artwork.
The northern view feels like art.
Amazing view.
Flowers.
(There are so many incredible paintings — these are only a few — so I am not spoiling it all for you!) Definitely check it out if you are in NYC! And hope you have a great start to the week.
