Weekend roundup

Richard Lacayo examines William Kentridge at SFMOMA. Last week Jori Finkel did too, in an NYT feature. Question: Why does Kentridge in SF get so much attention and why does no one mention the Seattle Kentridge mini-festival? This is a multi-city Kentridge moment -- and given his interest in examining aspects of capitalism, how appropriate, eh?
Jesse Hamlin picks Ess Eff's ten 'favorite' public sculptures. In reasponse, my new AJ-mate Regina Hackett goes into delicious dudgeon.
I love seeing Mark di Suvero in space, which is how he's installed in Miami, says John Coppola in the Miami Herald.
The Seattle Art Museum hearts Louis Sullivan. Jen Graves explains how -- and how much. (Graves digs Matthew Picton's maps, too. Amen.)
David Bonetti details how the St. Louis Art Museum's expansion is back on track. Yes, really.
Must read of the week: In the last few weeks I've found myself on the phone with quite a few folks from San Diego. (One of those calls resulted in these posts.) Unprompted, each told me that the collection galleries at the San Diego Museum of Art had taken a giant -- even thrilling -- leap forward. (The SDMA features quite a trove of European painting, including this Cotan and arguably the best Goya portrait in the US.) Apparently the Union-Tribune's Robert L. Pincus thinks so too: This weekend he penned two stories explaining how SDMA upgraded its collection installations and focus.
If you didn't check MAN on Friday, please take a look at my two posts on the role artists and museums play as our country addresses the question of our nation's responsibility for war crimes/torture committed during the Bush years, and then my chat with MoMA photography chief curator Peter Galassi on MoMA and the question of whether MoMA might acquire the Abu Ghraib photos. (Bloggers: I'd love it if you'd chime in.) The posts are related to a write-up I did on George Grosz-at-the-Hirshhorn back in January.
