Lawrence Weiner: As Far as the Eye Can See

At the Whitney thru February 10th

"Lawrence Weiner's mind-stretching 40-year retrospective...is respite, wake-up call and purification rite all in one...Driven by the joy of language and quite a bit of humor, Mr. Weiner's ebullient work asks tough questions about who makes or owns art, where it can occur and how long it lasts. It reminds us that while art and money may have been inextricably entwined throughout most of history, art's real value is not measured in strings of zeros, high-priced materials or bravura skill, but in communication, experience, economy of means (the true beauty) and, yes, the inspired disturbance of all status quos." - The New York Times
