Some of us achieve early success in our chosen careers. For artists, it’s often in their later years that they really come into their own with authentic expressions of their personal vision. And now, at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in New York, you can see a rich collection of artists who fit this bill. Entitled The Long Run, this exhibition will be on display for most of 2018 and features later career works of such artists as Agnes Martin, Cy Twombly and Louise Bourgeois. You can read Roberta Smith’s terrific review of this exhibit Here. And speaking of older artists: if you can, you should try to see the career retrospective of 80-year- old artist David Hockney, currently on view until Feb. 25 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the only North American venue showing this exhibit. While Hockney has been an art phenomenon for almost 60 years, his more recent work uses vivid color and incorporates cutting edge technology, something you might not expect from an older artist. As Hockney states, “I’m always still active, and if you’re active, it’s now.” Watch Hockney talk more about his career in this video interview Here.
