NY, NY (Madison & 60th)
These have been up for a while (before Thanksgiving) and probably old hat by now, but here you go… Lady Gaga’s Workshop, along with her boudoir, crystal cave, and very cool motorcycle – this year’s holiday windows at Barneys. There is a dedicated
website here. (make sure to scroll down. there is a lot of hidden stuff below the fold.) And if you go there in person, on the 5th floor is the actual “workshop”. A 5,000+ sq ft holiday shop full of crazy – conceived, designed, and blessed by the Virgin Mary herself.

Barneys, in a few of their Madison side windows, is showcasings paintings by Ella Kruglyanskaya, a New York based artist who studied at the illustrious Cooper Union. You can view more of her paintings at her website.
Here is her artist’s statement that I pulled from MOMA/PS1:
“The female figure and its accoutrements is the subject of my current paintings. I distract myself from thoughts of the ultimate betrayal of the body by engaging with the feminine image in graphic/comical ways. In “Bathers”, I enable a vulgar gaze by cropping the female torso and zeroing in on its parts. Cover-ups, in the form of colorful bathing suits, provide a much-needed relief from shameless looking. To prevent over-identification with the figures, their faces are often obscured by printed matter, and their bathing suits have a life of their own. I’m interested in pictorial events that are not narrative but visual and sometimes aspire to an unspoken punch line. The figure functions as the vessel and the space onto which the events of the painting occur.”

Barneys’ windows featuring Isabella Blow’s dress collection as guarded by Daphne Guinness.
Taken directly from the window, “Isabella Blow was a fashion icon, editor, and designers’ muse whose style epitomized English eccentricity. Blow discovered and was instrumental in nurturing the careers of both Alexander McQueen and hat designer Philip Treacy. Her museum-worthy clothing collection was purchased in its entirety after her death by her close friend Daphne Guinness to ensure that it would remain intact rather then being sold at auction.”

Barney’s windows for Fashion Week. I like these. Very simple, and I love the grainy, 60s, black & white, Twiggy-esque photography. I am always a sucker for that. I feel that Warhol should be peeking out behind one of the models.

Well, time to start the new year. Happy 2011.
I am sure that you have heard by now but Simon Doonan has been ousted/”promoted” to an ambassadorial position by Mike Lee, CEO, as part of his tree branch shaking. Lee has replaced Doonan with Dennis Freedman, founding creative director at W magazine. I am not sure if these windows are Doonan’s last, or Freedman’s first. Anyone out there know???

Lots of Barneys today. Windows 3-7 contain artwork by Dennis McNett. Very intense and very spooky. The pieces feel heavily influenced by Mardi Gras, Día de los Muertos, and 1970s black light poster art. You should check them out in person if you get a chance.
