Richard Serra: Hedgehog
It gathers the whole space even better than I had
expected." Richard Serra, sometimes seen as the world’s foremost
contemporary sculptor, reflects on his work, "The Hedgehog and
the Fox," at Princeton University. With its installation last
spring between Peyton and Fine Halls, near the new Princeton Stadium,
it immediately became the largest sculpture on campus — a venue
already endowed with significant sculptures, thanks to the John B.
Putnam Jr. memorial collection of 20th-century works.

Tannenbaum’s "John Lennon and Yoko Ono, A Double Fantasy," an
exhibition of new prints of portrait photographs of the famous couple
taken 10 days before John Lennon’s murder in front of the Dakota
Apartments. Now, 20 years later, Tannenbaum has created a new series

In 1980, the Lennons were releasing their new album, "Double
Fantasy" and agreed to several photo sessions including one in Central
Park and one is a stark-white film studio. Both color and black and
white photos are on exhibit.
A 1967 graduate of Rutgers, Tannenbaum was working for the SoHo Weekly
News when the Lennons agreed to several photo sessions, including one
in Central Park and one in a Manhattan film studio. Emerging from five
years seclusion, the couple were about to release a new album, "Double
Fantasy," and talking to the press for the first time in years, before
tragedy struck.
"They were really nice," Tannenbaum recalls, noting that
speaking with John "was like talking with someone you’d known all your
life. While I was photographing John and Yoko, I knew these pictures
would be something special; I felt very optimistic about doing more
work together." His work has been featured on the cover of Time and
Newsweek; he has filed exclusive, photo reports from such global hot
spots as South Africa, Northern Ireland, and the Phillipines.

Magid was born in Ohio, but lived in Trenton and Pennington until the
age of five. Here she was introduced to the wild at the Cadwalader
Park Zoo and the Ellarslie Mansion "Monkey House." When the family
moved to the Morrisville area, Magid says, "It may be due to a lack of
close human neighbors there and then that I formed up the habit of
drawing plants and other woods life, branching out to fields, farms,
and rural waste places with my mother’s help."
Her father was a ceramic engineer for the American Standard
Corporation and a member of the American Ceramic Association.
"Crossing back and forth to Trenton accounts for other themes that
shaped my interior life and exterior work: An affinity for the river,
bridges, bridge contours, and their invitation to stretch out and find
or make adaptive or generous links."

Margaret O’Reilly, the show explores how great works of art influenced
everyday photography. To December 31.
Dating from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries, the 90 "ordinary
photographs of ordinary people" featured in this exhibition were found
in shoe boxes at flea markets and yard sales or retrieved. Taken by
anonymous photographers, their power may be the result of a lucky
accident or of inspired planning that is reminiscent of such photo
masters as Man Ray, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and Diane Arbus. Found
photographs have become a hot new collectible in the art world.
