Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In Portugal with Ai Weiwei, standing at the trunk of his Pequi Tree, a 32m high iron cast of a 1200 year old dying tree he found in the Atlantic Forest, in Brazil. An engineering feat composed of over 1000 segments, this soaring spire is a stark and poetic monument to nature’s enduring power and ultimate fragility. This very tree was the last of its kind on the planet, and has since collapsed. Thank you @fundacao_serralves @greghilty

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Congratulations to our Chief Curator Naomi Beckwith on her stupendous Nick Cave show at the Guggenheim. They lead us on an otherworldly journey, mystical yet gritty, enchanting yet dark, celebratory yet somehow terrifying too. Here, a Tower gallery installed with a crowd of sound suits, a procession heralding a new (dis)order. #mustsee

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Congratulations to Yayoi Kusama on the fantastic installation across the gardens, conservatory and library of New York Botanical Garden. The show, curated by my friend and colleague Mika Yoshitake, makes the strongest case ever that Kusama’s infinity-inspired art has always been about COSMIC NATURE. My catalogue essay, Forget Yourself and become One with Nature, argues that Kusama is, after all, a panpsychist. #mustsee

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Who has ever seen Ai WeiWei in a TUX?! Congratulations to the bravest artist for winning the Praemium Imperiale in Tokyo today. WeiWei joins a roster of the greatest artists, thinkers, and architects who have shaped our lives, our imaginations, and our futures.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - We are so thrilled to welcome Mariët Westermann as the Guggenheim’s next Director and CEO. She brings enormous gravitas to our work across the constellation, shares our commitment to global thinking in an expanded museum field, and has long been our ally on the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi project. I have known Mariët since her deanship at IFA, where I served as a trustee in her first years of leadership at NYU. Everywhere she goes, positive transformation ensues. Our future is bright.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - The recent article in the @NYPost highlights the timeline of Kusama’s success beginning with her early years in NYC. I shed some light on my fierce conviction in the historical power of her work leading to the 1989 exhibition “Yayoi Kusama: A Retrospective” presented at the Center for International Contemporary Arts, New York, which was the first critical survey of her work. It is extraordinary to see how deeply she reaches people all over the world now.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Yuja Wang at Carnegie Hall, playing four hours and 400 sheets (from
memory) of all Rachmaninoff, from his first composition, Piano Concerto No 1, which he wrote at age 17, to Piano Concerto No 4, which he revised right up until his death in 1943. Yuja, wearing five different sequined mini dresses and 8-inch stilettos, gave us the greatest performance of my lifetime. She is a genius and a virtuoso, but that never comes before the music, which rises like dawn herself from her otherworldly musical soul. At the end of this historic marathon, Yannick fell to the stage floor and prostrated before her.

Turn applause on!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - At Julia Stoschek Collection in Berlin last week, this hologram by Cyprien Gaillard greets you at the entrance of the current show, Fire in My Belly. Here, a mythical monster looking like an Indonesian shadow puppet emerges from the light, endlessly devouring it’s own head. Gorgeous and uncanny, it haunts me still.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - 新年開了！Wonderful to be with old friends at a fabulous Lunar New Years Party in New York tonight. The excitement around China’s opening is palpable, and returning will be a highlight of 2023 for the Guggenheim, and for me. Happy Year of the Rabbit!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Guggenheim Abu Dhabi announces 2025 opening! A milestone in our historic project. It offers the most spectacular and curatorially advanced program for contemporary art in the region and beyond, and promises to be a platform for intellectual, creative and social innovation. A truly visionary museum for the art of our time. It’s an honor to lead the brilliant curatorial team!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Congratulations to Guggenheim Museo Bilbao on her 25th anniversary and to our esteemed founding director Juan Ignacio Vidarte! The visionary museum has changed our ideas of what museum architecture can be, how artists can respond to swirling spaces, outdoor environments and an urban plaza, and how bold museum leadership can defy and outlast entrenched cultural parochialism. Here, Fujiko Nakaya’s Fog, Jeff Koons’s Tulips, and Anish Kapoor’s totem of reflective spheres play in tandem with Frank Gehry’s exuberant architecture. Viva Bilbao!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In Iceland, Robert and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary. Here we are at the volcano, 500m from the erupting molten lava fires of the caldera. The cold air is singed with molten heat, and the river of lava flows beneath us, at bullet train speed. A geologist tells us we are looking into the future, 400 to 500 years, when the geothermal vestiges of this eruption today will warm the planet then. The rugged landscape, giant waterfalls, cracked mountains, vast lava fields and of course, the endless light have captured our imagination. It’s a magical place.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In Hong Kong, celebrating the international opening of M with Uli Sigg, whose collection gift grounds this impressive new museum with its stunning sweep of contemporary Chinese art history. The museum is a triumph, and shifts the gravitational forces to Asia. Congratulations to Suhanya Rafel whose leadership through the greatest challenges in recent history has assured the delivery of joy, after all. And to the founding team of curators whose feats and flights inspire a whole new museology for our time.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In Seoul, where the smart art world has convened to celebrate what we always knew: Seoul is vital. Here, at Leeum Art Museum’s collection rehang, Anika Yi’s organisms suspend before Anish Kapoor’s mirrored arcs with Lee Seung Jio’s massive canvas in the back. Thank you to the Guggenheim’s many friends for welcoming us back home.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - At Tate Modern for the launch (literally) of Anika Yi’s Turbine Hall commission. She sees these flying amoebas as machines, generated not by artificial intelligence so much as “artificial life programs.” Science, myth, hope and imagination collide in space… PLUS it’s so good to be back at an IRL opening!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Our friend and great artist Park Seo-bo passed away on October 14, and we mourn with the Korean art community who has lost a treasured teacher and abiding force in the Korean art world. I was honored to write on his work on several occasions, and, in his company, to come to appreciate his wit, his take on modern art and aesthetics, and his love of good wine. The Guggenheim is fortune to have great paintings in our collection by gift and acquisition.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - On Wednesday, April 28 at 3:00pm ET, join us for a one-day online international symposium/scholarly gathering jointly organized by the University of Maryland, College Park, MD, USA and the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. The scholars, critics, artists, curators, and architects/designers will respond critically to the symposium’s theme, “Rethinking the Curation of Chinese Contemporary Art.” I look forward to speaking specifically about staging contemporary Chinese art as global history.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - We are so ready to kiss this year good-bye! We now have hope for the vaccine, for a great and decent presidency, for the ongoing work to make our world a more just and inspirational place for all. My Egyptian yogi says the pandemic year has taught us Steadfastness, Patience and Surrender. How true! I would add one more: Gratitude.

Onward to a brighter 2021!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Tonight, I had the enormous honor of receiving the 2024 Japan Society Award, presented by my dearest colleague Jane DeBevoise and my patron saint Jack Wadsworth. I worked at Japan Society twice over my career. This institution shaped my ambitions; taught me how to do work that mattered; and instilled a conviction that the arts are not a separate phenomenon of appreciation - but rather, they are essential to a wider understanding of any country’s history, politics, economy, and society - the arts are what the great Langdon Warner called “the stream of the spirit.” My exhibitions and writings have been inflected by this wholistic approach that defines Japan Society’s mission.

Sean Ono Lennon sent this for us to read at the ceremony tonight. ❤️🌟❤️

Alexandra has been a close friend of my mother and I for over twenty years. She was ahead of the herd when it came to recognizing that much of my mother’s career had been overlooked. She played an integral role in helping the world understand the breadth and depth of Yoko Ono’s work. But she has been more than just an advocate for Yoko, she has supported and curated countless Japanese artists, in fact artists from all over Asia, and helped bridge what is still a considerable cultural gap between East and West. She is smarter, kinder, and more accomplished than most people you’ll ever meet, and I can think of no one on Earth who deserves a Japan Society Award more than Alexandra Munroe.

Love,

Sean Ono Lennon

Thank you, Yoko and Sean, and thank you Japan Society, for this great honor and super special occasion.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Today, I led a tour for Guggenheim patrons to Kusama’s “Cosmic Nature” show at #nybg. The summer has settled in, offering a rich living environment for Kusama’s art to thrive. It was our first in-person gathering in over a year! And, the catalogues just arrived, featuring my essay on Kusama and panpsychism, “Forget Yourself and Become One with Nature!” Please order and enjoy!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In Venice, our show Yu Hong: Another One Bites the Dust opens at La Chiesetta della Misericordia, with Guggenheim Deputy Director and Chief Curator Naomi Beckwith toasting the Asian Art Initiative’s first off-site show. Congratulations to Yu Hong for a searing and virtuoso installation of paintings that confront the immediacy of life and fleshy fact of death set against gold ground, throwing us against the eternal. Thank you to Theresa Liang, Melanie Taylor, Miko McGinty, Marc Tutt, Max Logsdail, Lynessa Yang, Zoe Diao, ArtEvents and to Greg Hilty and Alex Logsdail for your contributions to what Yu Hong calls, A dream come true.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - The fallen, fragmented, corrupted Statue of Liberty, as imagined by Danh Vo in his iconic work, We The People. Today this work brings new sorrow. Friends from all over the world reached out to me today - from Egypt, Lebanon, Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Korea - aghast at the scenes at the Capitol. Trump incites mob attack in the most symbolic citadel of democracy during the most solemn government ceremony. They feel betrayed by the erosion and now spectacular ruin of the democratic values America stood for in the world, for the world. They worry what power this heinous example will give to the terrifying autocracies many of them fight against each day. The international consequences will take decades to repair. For now, impeach, invoke the 25th, or lock him up! This man, his family and his militia must be charged for sedition, insurrection and obstruction of peaceful transfer of power. Now, we must keep faith in Biden and Kamala, celebrate the Senate majority, and help this volatile nation heal.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Cecilia Alemani’s 59th Venice Biennale is a curatorial feat, unfolding at a tempo far more thoughtful than the usual rush of last-minute market names and ideological proclamations. It may lack the radical format we love, the mess and experiment, but it’s a game-changer in its own ways. This is a show about obsessions with making, in any material the hand can mold, across the last century. It’s about fierce and furious imaginations, questions of what it means to be human in times of planetary crisis, which is more or less, in the modernist’s mind, always. Here, Firelei Báez raging dream overflows the canvas to overtake the entire wall, a rush of vision. And Cecilia and her team have delivered a biennial with more works by more women artists than ever in history. Bravissima e grazie.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - I thank Rashid Johnson for my first live studio visit in five months! Here he stands before one of his amazing new works, where he paints “anxiety” in a blood red of his own manufacture.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - At Christie’s NYC, thrilled to introduce Kulapat Yantrasast at the Inaugural Larsen Lecture, with LongHouse Reserve director Carrie Barrett. Kulapat spoke of Ise Shrine, the inspiration for Jack Lenor Larsen’s house in East Hampton. He finds synergy across many dimensions of the two sacred places. ISE = I for Inclusivity, bringing art and nature into a single world; S = Sustainability, maintaining and nurturing is culture; and E = Evolution, constantly changing is everlasting. Thank you, visionaries!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Congratulations to Nairy Baghramian for her Met Facade Commission, four rambunctious, whimsical and strangely emotional compositions that feel like they tumbled out of drawings for a utopian city that was never built. Hands down, the best use of the Facade so far. Roberta Smith’s review gets it right: “Their final lesson may be almost biblical- stone to stone, dust to dust - which is the illusory nature of all things, institutions included.”

Honored to be among their many friends from around the world who revel in the beauty they create, layered with palimpsests of cultural, architectural, and aesthetic visions drawn from Old Europe, Japan, India…and powered by the vision of some of the greatest artists of our time. Music is perhaps their most beloved passion; flip through these images to see Axel and May with soprano Joyce DiDonato, who performed the evening before on a stage whose backdrop was a monumental wall hanging by El Anatsui. Thank you, friends, for your enlightened generosity. And congratulations.

Thank you, friends, for your enlightened generosity. And congratulations.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In Arles at Lee Ufan’s Foundation, which he just opened in a large 18th century Provencal house, renovated by Tadao Ando. Lee has installed a lifetime of minimalist sculptures, paintings and drawings in this chalky light, a resonant harmony whose beauty brought me to tears.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - The Guggenheim rotunda is transformed in ways we have never experienced by the moving majesty of Wu Tsang’s Anthem, a film projection of performer and activist Beverly Glenn-Copeland signing, among other works, a chant-like rendition of “Deep River.” This installation culminates the Guggenheim’s Re-Projections series of video and performance works to activate an empty rotunda over the eery pandemic months. See @nytimes review by @hollandcotter on how the Guggenheim pivoted to experimental and alternative programming in response to the multiple crises we faced over the last year. Congratulations to @xzhunowell, @wu_tsang for brilliant collaboration.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - At Tate, encountering Hilma Af Klint whose 2019 show at the Guggenheim changed the origin stories of the history of modern abstract art.

She wrote of these 1907 works, commissioned by spiritual guides:

My mission, if it succeeds, is of great significance to humankind. For I am able to describe the path of the soul for the beginning of the spectacle of life to its end.

@tate @guggenheim #traceybashkoff #hilmaafklint #spirituality #abstractart #visionary

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Best show in town is Pipilotti Rist’s sprawling retrospective at LAMoCA. We are instantly swept into an intimate dream world, part Alice in Wonderland, part Louise Bourgeois - mesmerizing, at moments terrifying, sometimes humorous living spaces swirling with video projections of vaguely discernible intimacies. She commands video like no other artist, using it as paint but also as a poet of pain, like Anais Nin. This is womanly art, voluptuous, beautiful, anthem-like, crazy.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In Abu Dhabi, with our fabulous and brilliant Guggenheim Abu Dhabi curatorial team. We are at the show, As we Gaze Upon Her, co-curated by our Sara bin Safwan for Warehouse 421. Featuring women and non-binary artists from the region, it explores states of contemporary womanhood with poetry, pain, and politics. Here, art is an agent for social change - and it’s urgency is celebrated.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In my twenties, I visited Elsa in her village in Sant Martí Vell, stayed at her Roma apartment, and years later, took my husband to meet her at her tower in Porto Ercole.

In these medieval spaces, she lived with Zen calligraphy, Indonesian textiles, modern Italian furniture mixed with farmer’s tools as sculpture, a rustic Spanish chair, collections of animal bones, feathers, rocks, and her own timeless tableware designs in silver, colored glass, lacquer, and leather. She wore kaftans and her own necklaces; she’d place a flower picked from the roadside in her famous silver vase pendent. No one has style like Elsa.

We stayed in touch until we didn’t. I am so sad these weeks because I let this friendship glide away. And the NYT obituary is a sexist sensationalist piece of shit.

Elsa Peretti is the most important force in jewelry design in a century – and the first woman ever to reach such heights. Her genius shall live on for as long as people adorn themselves, and for as long as they have an imagination for style.

$Alexandra Munroe Instagram - The Guggenheim shimmers with three extraordinary shows - Kandinsky in the rotunda, Etel Adnan in the High Gallery and first ramps, and Gillian Wearing in the tower galleries.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - I am mourning the recent loss of my remarkable friend, Elsa Peretti. I knew her from our Kyoto days in the late 1970s, when she came to work with Japanese craftspeople for designs she was developing for Tiffany’s.

Many were 14th or 15th generation artisans, steeped in centuries of tradition. Elsa blew them all away with radical re-inventions of timeless material and form. She sat on the floor with them and talked in the language only artists know—gestures, drawings, running a hand over a crafted surface. These old men loved her, and recognized a kindred spirit.

She turned temple banner silk cords into woven belts. Tea lacquerware into bangles. Old basket-weave lunch boxes into evening purses, licked in silver leaf.

Issey Miyake was creating his own revolution, looking to Japanese kimono and farming gear for inspiration. They were great friends. I have never worn Miyake without an Elsa.

There were legends of Elsa and Halston and Warhol and cocaine in Studio 54 days, but what I saw was a generous Tuscan genius. One night, at two in the morning at our friend David Kidd’s Kyoto house, she dug into her purse and gave me $1000 in six different currencies and said that, before moving back from years in Japan to New York for my first job (at Japan Society), I needed to travel to Asia. It was my first grant. I went to Hong Kong and Taiwan, expanding and deepening my connection to East Asia. All thanks to Elsa.

She changed the world of jewelry design as much as my other great friend who just left this world, Jack Lenor Larsen, who changed the world of textile design. And both changed those worlds because they were changed by Japan.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - My brain has been starved for art and for Guggenheim’s magic. We are re-opening after seven months! Come see Pollock’s “Mural,” his largest painting ever, on view in NYC for the first time in 20 years. Time to think about ART.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - How to express my admiration and gratitude to Richard Armstrong? He has been a champion of the Guggenheim’s Asian Art Initiative, the Robert H N Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative (its launch in 2014 pictured here), and the Global Arts programme which have all shaped the last 14 years of intellectual and curatorial vision for the future Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. We have travelled the world together, and his curiosity and gift of instant camaraderie have vitalized our bold projects and assured their success and support across the museum world. The Guggenheim has become a truly international place because of his inspired leadership, and he has lead with grace at every turn. We look forward to a smooth transition over the next spring. Thank you, Richard.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Happy New Year! My first trip outside the US after the long Covid lockdown was to Rome, last June, where we headed straight to the Vatican Museums. Here, Raphael’s School of Athens projects a world inspired by and devoted to philosophy and learning. Centuries on, as wars and revolutions shape our quotidian realities, all that survives, as Susan Sontag said, is ART and THOUGHT. This New Years Eve, I toast the artists and thinkers whose work is my calling, and whose friendship is my blessing. 🥂👁🎆

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In Venice, at last. Anish Kapoor opened his installation at the Palazzo Manfrin, a Goliath of Venetian splendor in near ruins. This will be his Foundation housing his archives, library, and maybe a future studio. His art is relentless, avaricious, sublime, grotesque, violent, transcendent. Congratulations to Anish and his mad, mad team.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Today we mourn the passing of artist, weaver, gardener, and visionary Jack Lenor Larsen, who created magical and intelligent beauty in all he did. A great master and innovator of Modern design, he drew from his travels across Asia and Africa and worked with artisans in over 30 countries, preserving weaving and dying techniques that would otherwise have been lost to time and machines. And then there was LongHouse, the extraordinary environment he created with his love Peter Olsen over the last 30 years. There they staged Bill T Jones dances, Laurie Anderson concerts, Yoko Ono installations all outside in the gardens which Jack would constantly recreate. He was my great friend and mentor, an inspiration, an incarnation of profound, imaginative and capacious humanity. We used to spend Christmas together. This year, we pray for the lasting and vital legacy of LongHouse. Land, Place, Spirit.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In March 2011, I went to Iraq and Afghanistan with the Council on Foreign Relations. We met with US and NATO military, NGO workers, diplomats, and at my request, artists and writers. It was clear then that what was becoming the forever war was a colossal catastrophe on every conceivable front. I remember what the Taliban Pashtuns were telling us: “You have the watches, but we have the time.” These are dark days of tragedy, betrayal and chaos.

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In Venice with Yu Hong! Please come to the opening of our show, Yu Hong: Another One Bites the Dust, at the Chiesetta della Misericordia next Friday April 19 from 3 to 6pm. Yu Hong’s paintings of birth, life, desire, sex and death upend and contest with an entire world of sacred art. Acid realism in embrace of the Baroque!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - Congratulations to the organizers and speakers of the Culture Summit Abu Dhabi! We have learned a lot and feel we have lots to hope for, too. The pandemic and its “global pause” has compelled us all to rethink, recalibrate and re-invent our practices and world views. We are different citizens, now.

Here is Rayyane Tabet’s installation drawing the form of a disembodied pipeline in the Saudi desert. He was one of several artists, architects, thought-leaders and activists who shared his criticality, thinking process, and creative vision for our future worlds. Tune in now for the final sessions!

Alexandra Munroe Instagram - In AlUla at Desert X, a brilliant show of site-specific works by 20 artists from Saudi Arabia and around the world, set in the magnificent desert landscape of this region in northern Arabia. Here, Alicja Kwade presents a series of void and mirrored geometries set among the rocks, trees and brush of a narrow valley formed by the fantastic boulders of the millions year old bed of the Red Sea. The tricks remind us of the mirages, and also of how we forget ourselves in the presence of so much absence. Congratulations to our dear colleague Reem Fadda and the curatorial team, and to the Royal Commission of AlUla and its inspired leadership to develop the area into a center of arts, culture, nature and heritage.

memory) of all Rachmaninoff, from his first composition, Piano Concerto No 1, which he wrote at age 17, to Piano Concerto No 4, which he revised right up until his death in 1943. Yuja, wearing five different sequined mini dresses and 8-inch stilettos, gave us the greatest performance of my lifetime. She is a genius and a virtuoso, but that never comes before the music, which rises like dawn herself from her otherworldly musical soul. At the end of this historic marathon, Yannick fell to the stage floor and prostrated before her.

Alexandra Munroe - 382 Likes - At Julia Stoschek Collection in Berlin last week, this hologram by Cyprien Gaillard greets you at the entrance of the current show, Fire in My Belly. Here, a mythical monster looking like an Indonesian shadow puppet emerges from the light, endlessly devouring it’s own head. Gorgeous and uncanny, it haunts me still.

Alexandra Munroe - 374 Likes - Congratulations to Guggenheim Museo Bilbao on her 25th anniversary and to our esteemed founding director Juan Ignacio Vidarte! The visionary museum has changed our ideas of what museum architecture can be, how artists can respond to swirling spaces, outdoor environments and an urban plaza, and how bold museum leadership can defy and outlast entrenched cultural parochialism. Here, Fujiko Nakaya’s Fog, Jeff Koons’s Tulips, and Anish Kapoor’s totem of reflective spheres play in tandem with Frank Gehry’s exuberant architecture. Viva Bilbao!

Alexandra Munroe - 367 Likes - In Iceland, Robert and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary. Here we are at the volcano, 500m from the erupting molten lava fires of the caldera. The cold air is singed with molten heat, and the river of lava flows beneath us, at bullet train speed. A geologist tells us we are looking into the future, 400 to 500 years, when the geothermal vestiges of this eruption today will warm the planet then. The rugged landscape, giant waterfalls, cracked mountains, vast lava fields and of course, the endless light have captured our imagination. It’s a magical place.

The museum is a triumph, and shifts the gravitational forces to Asia. Congratulations to Suhanya Rafel whose leadership through the greatest challenges in recent history has assured the delivery of joy, after all. And to the founding team of curators whose feats and flights inspire a whole new museology for our time.

She sees these flying amoebas as machines, generated not by artificial intelligence so much as “artificial life programs.” Science, myth, hope and imagination collide in space… PLUS it’s so good to be back at an IRL opening!

Alexandra Munroe - 325 Likes - Our friend and great artist Park Seo-bo passed away on October 14, and we mourn with the Korean art community who has lost a treasured teacher and abiding force in the Korean art world. I was honored to write on his work on several occasions, and, in his company, to come to appreciate his wit, his take on modern art and aesthetics, and his love of good wine. The Guggenheim is fortune to have great paintings in our collection by gift and acquisition.

We now have hope for the vaccine, for a great and decent presidency, for the ongoing work to make our world a more just and inspirational place for all.

Alexandra Munroe - 307 Likes - Tonight, I had the enormous honor of receiving the 2024 Japan Society Award, presented by my dearest colleague Jane DeBevoise and my patron saint Jack Wadsworth. I worked at Japan Society twice over my career. This institution shaped my ambitions; taught me how to do work that mattered; and instilled a conviction that the arts are not a separate phenomenon of appreciation - but rather, they are essential to a wider understanding of any country’s history, politics, economy, and society - the arts are what the great Langdon Warner called “the stream of the spirit.” My exhibitions and writings have been inflected by this wholistic approach that defines Japan Society’s mission.

Sean Ono Lennon sent this for us to read at the ceremony tonight. ❤️🌟❤️

Alexandra has been a close friend of my mother and I for over twenty years. She was ahead of the herd when it came to recognizing that much of my mother’s career had been overlooked. She played an integral role in helping the world understand the breadth and depth of Yoko Ono’s work. But she has been more than just an advocate for Yoko, she has supported and curated countless Japanese artists, in fact artists from all over Asia, and helped bridge what is still a considerable cultural gap between East and West. She is smarter, kinder, and more accomplished than most people you’ll ever meet, and I can think of no one on Earth who deserves a Japan Society Award more than Alexandra Munroe.

Love,

Sean Ono Lennon

Thank you, Yoko and Sean, and thank you Japan Society, for this great honor and super special occasion.

Alexandra Munroe - 284 Likes - In Venice, our show Yu Hong: Another One Bites the Dust opens at La Chiesetta della Misericordia, with Guggenheim Deputy Director and Chief Curator Naomi Beckwith toasting the Asian Art Initiative’s first off-site show. Congratulations to Yu Hong for a searing and virtuoso installation of paintings that confront the immediacy of life and fleshy fact of death set against gold ground, throwing us against the eternal. Thank you to Theresa Liang, Melanie Taylor, Miko McGinty, Marc Tutt, Max Logsdail, Lynessa Yang, Zoe Diao, ArtEvents and to Greg Hilty and Alex Logsdail for your contributions to what Yu Hong calls, A dream come true.

Alexandra Munroe - 274 Likes - My mother in Mexico, where I grew up in the 1960s. Artist, writer, gardener, traveller, teacher, collector of extraordinary friends, she is who I thank today and everyday - for inspiration, for love, for life. We miss her wit and wisdom, but are guided by her genius and spirit, always.

Alexandra Munroe - 253 Likes - The fallen, fragmented, corrupted Statue of Liberty, as imagined by Danh Vo in his iconic work, We The People. Today this work brings new sorrow. Friends from all over the world reached out to me today - from Egypt, Lebanon, Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Korea - aghast at the scenes at the Capitol. Trump incites mob attack in the most symbolic citadel of democracy during the most solemn government ceremony. They feel betrayed by the erosion and now spectacular ruin of the democratic values America stood for in the world, for the world. They worry what power this heinous example will give to the terrifying autocracies many of them fight against each day. The international consequences will take decades to repair. For now, impeach, invoke the 25th, or lock him up! This man, his family and his militia must be charged for sedition, insurrection and obstruction of peaceful transfer of power. Now, we must keep faith in Biden and Kamala, celebrate the Senate majority, and help this volatile nation heal.

Alexandra Munroe - 248 Likes - Cecilia Alemani’s 59th Venice Biennale is a curatorial feat, unfolding at a tempo far more thoughtful than the usual rush of last-minute market names and ideological proclamations. It may lack the radical format we love, the mess and experiment, but it’s a game-changer in its own ways. This is a show about obsessions with making, in any material the hand can mold, across the last century. It’s about fierce and furious imaginations, questions of what it means to be human in times of planetary crisis, which is more or less, in the modernist’s mind, always. Here, Firelei Báez raging dream overflows the canvas to overtake the entire wall, a rush of vision. And Cecilia and her team have delivered a biennial with more works by more women artists than ever in history. Bravissima e grazie.

Here he stands before one of his amazing new works, where he paints “anxiety” in a blood red of his own manufacture. He calls these marks “traffic”, sees the grid of ovals as faces, and includes a date in each title, to mark the identity of this historic time. He wears Ai Weiwei MASK.

Alexandra Munroe - 245 Likes - At Christie’s NYC, thrilled to introduce Kulapat Yantrasast at the Inaugural Larsen Lecture, with LongHouse Reserve director Carrie Barrett. Kulapat spoke of Ise Shrine, the inspiration for Jack Lenor Larsen’s house in East Hampton. He finds synergy across many dimensions of the two sacred places. ISE = I for Inclusivity, bringing art and nature into a single world; S = Sustainability, maintaining and nurturing is culture; and E = Evolution, constantly changing is everlasting. Thank you, visionaries!

Alexandra Munroe - 237 Likes - Congratulations to Nairy Baghramian for her Met Facade Commission, four rambunctious, whimsical and strangely emotional compositions that feel like they tumbled out of drawings for a utopian city that was never built. Hands down, the best use of the Facade so far. Roberta Smith’s review gets it right: “Their final lesson may be almost biblical- stone to stone, dust to dust - which is the illusory nature of all things, institutions included.”

Honored to be among their many friends from around the world who revel in the beauty they create, layered with palimpsests of cultural, architectural, and aesthetic visions drawn from Old Europe, Japan, India…and powered by the vision of some of the greatest artists of our time. Music is perhaps their most beloved passion; flip through these images to see Axel and May with soprano Joyce DiDonato, who performed the evening before on a stage whose backdrop was a monumental wall hanging by El Anatsui. Thank you, friends, for your enlightened generosity. And congratulations.

Alexandra Munroe - 221 Likes - The Guggenheim rotunda is transformed in ways we have never experienced by the moving majesty of Wu Tsang’s Anthem, a film projection of performer and activist Beverly Glenn-Copeland signing, among other works, a chant-like rendition of “Deep River.” This installation culminates the Guggenheim’s Re-Projections series of video and performance works to activate an empty rotunda over the eery pandemic months. See @nytimes review by @hollandcotter on how the Guggenheim pivoted to experimental and alternative programming in response to the multiple crises we faced over the last year. Congratulations to @xzhunowell, @wu_tsang for brilliant collaboration.

Caption : The Guggenheim rotunda is transformed in ways we have never experienced by the moving majesty of Wu Tsang’s Anthem, a film projection of performer and activist Beverly Glenn-Copeland signing, among other works, a chant-like rendition of “Deep River.” This installation culminates the Guggenheim’s Re-Projections series of video and performance works to activate an empty rotunda over the eery pandemic months. See @nytimes review by @hollandcotter on how the Guggenheim pivoted to experimental and alternative programming in response to the multiple crises we faced over the last year. Congratulations to @xzhunowell, @wu_tsang for brilliant collaboration. #guggenheim #newyorkcity #wutsang #anthem #nytimes

Alexandra Munroe - 219 Likes - At Tate, encountering Hilma Af Klint whose 2019 show at the Guggenheim changed the origin stories of the history of modern abstract art.

She wrote of these 1907 works, commissioned by spiritual guides:

My mission, if it succeeds, is of great significance to humankind. For I am able to describe the path of the soul for the beginning of the spectacle of life to its end.

Alexandra Munroe - 218 Likes - Best show in town is Pipilotti Rist’s sprawling retrospective at LAMoCA. We are instantly swept into an intimate dream world, part Alice in Wonderland, part Louise Bourgeois - mesmerizing, at moments terrifying, sometimes humorous living spaces swirling with video projections of vaguely discernible intimacies. She commands video like no other artist, using it as paint but also as a poet of pain, like Anais Nin. This is womanly art, voluptuous, beautiful, anthem-like, crazy.

We are at the show, As we Gaze Upon Her, co-curated by our Sara bin Safwan for Warehouse 421. Featuring women and non-binary artists from the region, it explores states of contemporary womanhood with poetry, pain, and politics. Here, art is an agent for social change - and it’s urgency is celebrated.

Alexandra Munroe - 210 Likes - In my twenties, I visited Elsa in her village in Sant Martí Vell, stayed at her Roma apartment, and years later, took my husband to meet her at her tower in Porto Ercole.

In these medieval spaces, she lived with Zen calligraphy, Indonesian textiles, modern Italian furniture mixed with farmer’s tools as sculpture, a rustic Spanish chair, collections of animal bones, feathers, rocks, and her own timeless tableware designs in silver, colored glass, lacquer, and leather. She wore kaftans and her own necklaces; she’d place a flower picked from the roadside in her famous silver vase pendent. No one has style like Elsa.

We stayed in touch until we didn’t. I am so sad these weeks because I let this friendship glide away. And the NYT obituary is a sexist sensationalist piece of shit.

Elsa Peretti is the most important force in jewelry design in a century – and the first woman ever to reach such heights. Her genius shall live on for as long as people adorn themselves, and for as long as they have an imagination for style.

Alexandra Munroe - 202 Likes - I am mourning the recent loss of my remarkable friend, Elsa Peretti. I knew her from our Kyoto days in the late 1970s, when she came to work with Japanese craftspeople for designs she was developing for Tiffany’s.

Many were 14th or 15th generation artisans, steeped in centuries of tradition. Elsa blew them all away with radical re-inventions of timeless material and form. She sat on the floor with them and talked in the language only artists know—gestures, drawings, running a hand over a crafted surface. These old men loved her, and recognized a kindred spirit.

She turned temple banner silk cords into woven belts. Tea lacquerware into bangles. Old basket-weave lunch boxes into evening purses, licked in silver leaf.

Issey Miyake was creating his own revolution, looking to Japanese kimono and farming gear for inspiration. They were great friends. I have never worn Miyake without an Elsa.

There were legends of Elsa and Halston and Warhol and cocaine in Studio 54 days, but what I saw was a generous Tuscan genius. One night, at two in the morning at our friend David Kidd’s Kyoto house, she dug into her purse and gave me $1000 in six different currencies and said that, before moving back from years in Japan to New York for my first job (at Japan Society), I needed to travel to Asia. It was my first grant. I went to Hong Kong and Taiwan, expanding and deepening my connection to East Asia. All thanks to Elsa.

She changed the world of jewelry design as much as my other great friend who just left this world, Jack Lenor Larsen, who changed the world of textile design. And both changed those worlds because they were changed by Japan.

He has been a champion of the Guggenheim’s Asian Art Initiative, the Robert H N Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative (its launch in 2014 pictured here), and the Global Arts programme which have all shaped the last 14 years of intellectual and curatorial vision for the future Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. We have travelled the world together, and his curiosity and gift of instant camaraderie have vitalized our bold projects and assured their success and support across the museum world. The Guggenheim has become a truly international place because of his inspired leadership, and he has lead with grace at every turn. We look forward to a smooth transition over the next spring. Thank you, Richard.

Here, Raphael’s School of Athens projects a world inspired by and devoted to philosophy and learning. Centuries on, as wars and revolutions shape our quotidian realities, all that survives, as Susan Sontag said, is ART and THOUGHT. This New Years Eve, I toast the artists and thinkers whose work is my calling, and whose friendship is my blessing. 🥂👁🎆

This will be his Foundation housing his archives, library, and maybe a future studio. His art is relentless, avaricious, sublime, grotesque, violent, transcendent.

Alexandra Munroe - 190 Likes - Today we mourn the passing of artist, weaver, gardener, and visionary Jack Lenor Larsen, who created magical and intelligent beauty in all he did. A great master and innovator of Modern design, he drew from his travels across Asia and Africa and worked with artisans in over 30 countries, preserving weaving and dying techniques that would otherwise have been lost to time and machines. And then there was LongHouse, the extraordinary environment he created with his love Peter Olsen over the last 30 years. There they staged Bill T Jones dances, Laurie Anderson concerts, Yoko Ono installations all outside in the gardens which Jack would constantly recreate. He was my great friend and mentor, an inspiration, an incarnation of profound, imaginative and capacious humanity. We used to spend Christmas together. This year, we pray for the lasting and vital legacy of LongHouse. Land, Place, Spirit.

We met with US and NATO military, NGO workers, diplomats, and at my request, artists and writers. It was clear then that what was becoming the forever war was a colossal catastrophe on every conceivable front. I remember what the Taliban Pashtuns were telling us: “You have the watches, but we have the time.” These are dark days of tragedy, betrayal and chaos.

Here, Alicja Kwade presents a series of void and mirrored geometries set among the rocks, trees and brush of a narrow valley formed by the fantastic boulders of the millions year old bed of the Red Sea. The tricks remind us of the mirages, and also of how we forget ourselves in the presence of so much absence. Congratulations to our dear colleague Reem Fadda and the curatorial team, and to the Royal Commission of AlUla and its inspired leadership to develop the area into a center of arts, culture, nature and heritage.

It was the 9 minute video taken by bystander, 17-year old Darnella Frazier, which changed history last year as the country and the world rose in empathy, rage and protest in the visceral wake of George Floyd’s murder, and the murder verdict today handed down against Derek Chauvin. JUSTICE. Darnella is pictured here receiving PEN America’s 2020 Courage Award.

Alexandra Munroe - 169 Likes - In Rome, I was thrilled to speak on Daido Moriyama and postwar Japanese photography at MAXXI with Hou Hanru and Elena Motisi. Their show captures the infinity, speed, eroticism, and sadness of Daido’s voracious documentation of Tokyo in the throes of change over decades of postwar urbanization, and its cultural toll. Bravo to Daido, bravo to MAXXI!

I organized his first show in a U.S. museum in 1998! Forever fascinated

Alexandra Munroe - 169 Likes - Today we mourn Budi Tek, who did so much to promote Asian art in a global context and global art in an Asian context, including bringing KAWS to his visionary Yuz Museum In Shanghai. He was my friend, mentor and passionate fellow activist. We shall miss you, Budi, but promise to carry on your great, expansive work.
