Helena Rubinstein show at The Jewish Museum opens Oct. 31

Even though I devote most of the blog posts to contemporary art events, I must include a note about an upcoming show, Helena Rubinstein: Beauty is Power, at the Jewish Museum in New York. Ms. Rubinstein collected some of the finest examples of African and Oceanic art as well as modern works, including paintings by Matisse and Picasso. The show will be a reunion of this sensational collection and an absolute must-see on the art calendar. I can't wait to view the African sculptures, especially the Senufo works, which are my favorite. The exhibition will be on view through March 22, 2015.
