“We also have with us a work by Sir Thomas Holdich called The Gates of India, which gives a summary of Afghan exploration up to 1910 and describes the journey of Moorcroft, who died at Andikhoi in 1825. In this I find, on page 440: “Moorcroft’s books (thirty volumes) were recovered, and the list…

Dürer used the media of the time—watercolor, pen, ink—to do something unprecedented: depict with great precision a little slice of wild, chaotic nature. He revealed what was always there but had never before been seen with such clarity. Hockney, in 2011, is doing the same job,…

Dossier: Fall Art Cheat Sheet
So the art world is back in season. You know how I can tell? All the lists telling me what to go to, where, and when. Here are some useful lists:
1. Ben Sutton over at The L Magazine has 20 must-see shows for fall.
2. Art Fag City has every commercial gallery show you need to see in September.
3. C-Monster has an infographic on WNYC with openings to go to this week.
4. The Lower East Side is having its first mass gallery-crawl night, which means it’s a real art neighborhood now. Here’s the list.
Bonus: At the New York Observer, Andrew Russeth foretells the future of the art world this fall, and he seems right on the money. Takeaway: more money, more art, more LES.
Artinfo’s own contribution will be coming later today. Back to school!
