Frank Stella at the Whitney Museum




Frank Stella’s huge Wooden Star I sits under the stars on the Whitney Museum’s outdoor terrace; in league with a red and white Empire State Building behind, it’s like a giant Christmas ornament for the city. Tiny, 3-D printed versions by the artist are available for sale in the museum’s gift shop. (Through Feb 7th).

John Riepenhoff at Marlborough Gallery, Lower East Side

Working by the light of a lamp or with no artificial light at all, Milwaukee-based artist John Riepenhoff has created his night sky paintings in the city and country.  Explaining that he can’t see much of what he’s doing while he’s painting, each is a surprise in the morning.  (At Marlborough Gallery, Lower East Side through Feb 9th.)
