We are excited to offer a musical performance, selected by Alys Stephens Centers' Director of Programming, Eric Essix, as part of our trip.

ULAE Universal Art Edition Limited27 W. 20th Street, #601 New York, NY 10011Telephone: (212) 675-2426 Mobile: (917) 434-3781 Marie Tennyson9:00 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. ( Bus leaves at 8:30 a.m.)

Founded in 1957 by Tatyana Grosman in West Islip, New York, ULAE set the standard for postwar printmaking

in America. Bringing together the most recognized artists of the day with highly skilled master printers, Grosman

aimed to publish artists’ books and prints in the tradition of fine European ateliers. Her tenacious spirit and complete

dedication to the artist won over even the most tentative printmakers. While a number of established artists,

skeptical of the print medium, had rejected invitations to work at ULAE during its formative years, younger artists such

as Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg blazed a path to the burgeoning shop and influenced others to follow.

Their innovative and committed approach to printmaking was critical to ULAE’s early success. By challenging prevailing

notions of artistic subjectivity and originality in their choices of subject matter and mediums, Johns and Rauschenberg

helped to remove the stigma once associated with printmaking.

FRI.JAN . 10

#UABNYC

We will be greeted by Marie Tennyson from Universal Limited Art Editions and special guest, artist Wyatt Kahn. Wyatt

Kahn is primarily known for his investigations into the visual and spatial relationship between painting and sculpture.

Using unprimed canvases stretched over wooden frames, Kahn assembles complex wall-mounted works in which the

gaps between the individual canvases give rise to abstract or pictorial compositions. Rather than tracing the lines and

shapes directly onto the canvases themselves, he turns them into physical components of the artwork. Referencing

the tradition of minimalist abstraction, Wyatt Kahn’s monochrome multi-panel ‘paintings’ are informed by a desire to

explore non-illusory forms of representation. In essence, their subject becomes the interplay between two and three

dimensions, as experienced via shifts in surface, structure and depth.

Wyatt Kahn (b. 1983) lives and works in New York. Recent solo exhibitions were held at Museo di Arte Moderna e

Contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto; Trento (2016) and at the Contemporary Art Museum, St. Louis, MO (2015).

His work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY; Centre Georges Pompidou,

Paris; MOCA, Los Angeles; Dallas Museum of Art; MCA, Chicago; and Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo.

Studio Visit: Peter Halley526 West 26th Street, Room 92011:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m..Peter Halley was born in 1953 in New York. He began his formal training at Phillips Academy in Andover,

Mass., from which he graduated in 1971. During that time, Halley read Josef Albers’ “Interaction of Color” (1981), which

would influence him throughout his career. From 1973 to 1974, Halley lived in New Orleans, where he absorbed the

vibrant cultural influences of the city, began using commercial materials in his art, and first became

acquainted with the writings of earthwork artist Robert Smithson. In 1975, the artist graduated from Yale University,

New Haven, with a degree in art history. After Yale, Halley returned to New Orleans, where he received an MFA in

painting from the University of New Orleans in 1978. He had his first solo exhibition at the Contemporary Art Center,

New Orleans, that same year. In 1984, Halley started to exhibit with the International With Monument gallery,

becoming closely associated with the organization and its artists, who exhibited conceptually rigorous work in a

market-savvy, coolly presented space that stood in stark contrast to the bohemian, neo-expressionist flair of the

East Village art scene at the time. His works can be found in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago,

the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Tate Modern, London, and many other major museums around the world.

The Meatball Shop200 9th Avenue, New York, NY 10011 Telephone: (212) 257-436312:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Daniel Holzman, chef/co-owner of The Meatball Shop, started his cooking career at the age of 15 at Le Bernardin in

New York City and remained there for four years until, at the suggestion of chef Eric Ripert, he attended the Culinary

Institute of America with a full scholarship from the James Beard Foundation. Holzman’s culinary journey has led

him through some of the country’s finest restaurants, including Palladin, Napa, The Campton Place, Aqua, Jardinière

and Axe. In 2010, Holzman returned to his hometown of New York City to team up with his childhood friend Michael

Chernow and debut The Meatball Shop on New York City’s Lower East Side. The mix-and-match menu of meatballs,

served in a warm and convivial environment, was an instant hit. Five more locations of The Meatball Shop—in

Williamsburg, the West Village, Chelsea, the Upper East Side and Hell’s Kitchen—opened in quick succession.

Holzman also co-wrote “The Meatball Shop Cookbook,” which was published to much acclaim in 2011. Daniel has ap-

peared in countless broadcast segments including ABC’s “Good Morning America,” NBC’s “TODAY” show and “The

Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” as well as in an array of widely reaching local and national publications such as The

New York Times, Food & Wine, Saveur, People, Food Network Magazine, and GQ. Lunch will be served family-style. We will have a veggie option for those who do not eat meat.

Flag Art Foundation545 West 25th Street #9 New York, NY 100013:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

The FLAG Art Foundation emanated from my passion for collecting contemporary art and the desire to share that

joy and personal fulfillment with the public at large. For more than 25 years, I’ve cultivated an in-depth approach to

collecting art of my lifetime, which has allowed me to forge strong and sustained relationships with artists throughout

the evolution of their careers. Additionally, my wife, Amanda, and I, have developed unique relationships with artists,

curators, gallerists, museum directors, and other collectors, all of whom tremendously enrich our lives. It was my hope

that, in creating The FLAG Art Foundation, we could work with these creative and inspiring individuals in new and

different capacities and build a program that would honor artists and engage viewers.

The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to present Nicolas Party: Pastel, a two-floor exhibition by the artist, on

view Oct. 10, 2019-Feb. 15, 2020. Conceived as a unified environment, Party transforms FLAG into a

rose-colored stage set for a suite of four soft pastel, Rococo-inspired murals that serve as a foil to, and

occasional backdrop for, a selection of pastels from the 18th century to present day. Artists include

Rosalba Carriera (1675-1757), Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), Edgar Degas (1834-1917), Louis Fratino (b. 1993),

Marsden Hartley (1877-1943), Loie Hollowell (b. 1983), Julian Martin (b. 1969), Toyin Ojih Odutola (b. 1985),

Chris Ofili (b. 1968), Jean-Baptiste Perronneau (1715-1783), Billy Sullivan (b. 1946), Wayne Thiebaud (b. 1920)

and Robin F. Williams (b. 1984).

years later, he expanded his activities to New York, inaugurating his first Chelsea gallery with an exhibition of works

from the pop art collection of Emily and Burton Tremaine. From 1989 to 1996, he owned a gallery at 65 Thompson

Street in SoHo with the renowned dealer Leo Castelli, where they showed Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Bruce

Nauman, and other preeminent artists of the postwar generation.

Jazz Standard116 E 27th Street New York, NY 100169:30 p.m.

Jazz StandardFor over a decade, Jazz Standard has been setting the standard—world-class jazz, warm hospitality, pitch-perfect

sound, and award-winning Southern cuisine and barbecue in an intimate and comfortable environment. As one of the

world’s top jazz venues, Jazz Standard hosts both legendary artists of today and bright stars of tomorrow.

Jazz Standard has been the home of Grammy-winning and nominated albums recorded on our stage. Numerous

critically acclaimed recordings by esteemed artists have captured the club’s electricity for the world to enjoy. Below

are samples of only a handful of the great albums recorded live at Jazz Standard.

Jazz Standard is proud to support a number of programs that promote growth in the jazz community, support older

jazz musicians and allow young minds to explore the possibilities in jazz.

Lizz Wright Hailed by the Chicago Tribune as a “vocalist of substance more devoted to song than to image,” Lizz Wright has

frequently and happily moved beyond the sometimes restrictive category of “jazz singer” to excel in a multiplicity of

styles including pop, soul and gospel. Her acclaimed Joe Henry-produced album “Grace” (Concord Music, 2017) was

hailed as “a lulling yet ringing affirmation of Wright’s deeply rooted connection to the South and its music. Although

it was recorded in Hollywood — with Henry’s associates among the core and ancillary musicians — and consists

primarily of covers, the album is Southern through and through, and as personal as any of Wright’s previous recordings,

with resolute faith, enduring romantic devotion, and earthly gratitude among the prominent themes.” (Andy Kellman,

AllMusic) In addition to her own albums, Lizz Wright has appeared on recordings by David Sanborn, Danilo Perez,

Regina Carter and Jakob Dylan.

Welcome to the new MoMA. In our expanded galleries and spaces for

performance, conversation and art making, you’ll see more art in new

ways. Get ready to discover new voices and fresh perspectives.

The real value of this expansion is not more space, but space that allows us to rethink the experience of art in the Museum.

- Glenn D. Lowry, The David Rockefeller Director

More than just a physical expansion, the new MoMA is a rethinking of how we share art with you. We’ve reinstalled

the entire collection to share exhilaratingly broad views of the art of our time in a way that is always evolving.

From quietly contemplating a single work, to watching live rehearsals in the Kravis Studio, you’ll find something

unexpected and inspiring every time you visit. And with a new flagship store, dining options and expanded hours,

there are even more ways to make the most of your visit.

Established in 1973Jean-Paul and Monique Picot took the bistro’s name from the avant garde comedy “La Bonne Soupe” by the French

playwright Félicien Marceau, which had a long successful run in Paris in the 1950s. The play ends with the words “Et

hop! Par ici, la bonne soupe!” here meaning: “step up, place your bets and enjoy the good life!” The phrase “la bonne

soupe” has come to mean the good life, with health, wealth and happiness.

the early 1990s to the present, drawn from private and public collections throughout the world.

Judd Foundation101 Spring StreetNew York, NY 10012Telephone: (212) 219-2747 4:00 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

Judd Foundation maintains and preserves Donald Judd’s permanently installed living and working spaces, libraries,

and archives in New York and Marfa, Texas. The Foundation promotes a wider understanding of Judd’s artistic legacy

by providing access to these spaces and resources and by developing scholarly and educational programs.

In 1968, Judd purchased 101 Spring Street, a five-story cast-iron building located at the corner of Spring Street and

Mercer Street in New York City. Designed by Nicholas Whyte and constructed in 1870, it was the first building Judd

owned and served as his New York residence and studio.

101 Spring Street is considered to be where Judd first developed the concept of permanent installation. Centered

on the belief that the placement of a work of art was as critical to its understanding as the work itself, Judd’s first

applications of this idea were realized in his installation of works throughout 101 Spring Street and later in Marfa,

Texas. Judd’s installations of artworks, furniture and decorative objects strike a balance between respect for the

historic nature of the landmark cast-iron building and his approach to architecture and design.

The works on view at 101 Spring Street remain as installed by Judd. Throughout his writings, Judd identifies

the installation of 101 Spring Street as the source of permanent installation as a practice. In his 1989 essay, “101

Spring Street,” he wrote: “I spent a great deal of time placing the art and a great deal designing the renovation in

accordance. Everything from the first was intended to be thoroughly considered and to be permanent.”
