Here's a brief video about the collection:
✦ Our National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., has made fully accessible online at least 200 videos about the permanent collection, exhibitions, and education programs. The content may be embedded on personal Web pages.

Exhibitions Here and There
✭ Parrish Art Museum, Water Mill, New York, plays host to Maya Lin's ongoing project "What Is Missing?" through October 13. Featured in "Platform: Maya Lin" are Pin River — Sandy, Lin's installation of straight pins depicting Hurricane Sandy's flood plain; the marble sculptures Arctic Circle, Latitude New York City, and Equator; and a trio of recycled silver works including Georgica Pond. (I've had an opportunity to see earlier work from this multifaceted project, which I think is terrific. Lin calls it her "last memorial". Be sure to visit the Website at the What Is Missing? link above.)

View the documentary about Morris, Creative Nature: A Portrait of an Artist Alive.
✭ "Richard Tuttle: A Print Retrospective" continues through October 19 at Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Brunswick, Maine. Organized with Tuttle's help, the exhibition presents more than 100 of the artist's works, from the 1970s to today; some are being shown in a museum for the first time. Images are available at the exhibition link above. A catalogue accompanies the exhibition, which is organized chronologically and addresses Tuttle's tools, innovative approaches to traditional printmaking processes (e.g., etching, woodblock, lithography), and collaborations with master printers and publishers such as BAE Editions, Crown Point Press, and Universal Limited Art Editions. Included is Tuttle's When Pressure Exceeds Weight (2012-2013), a series of 11 prints/papers in which ink is impressed variously onto paper pulp as through osmosis (image of one print in the series; others may be seen at the ULAE link above).
