The first work of Xavier Veilhan’s first major museum show in the United States has really arrived. On a beautiful fall day, a small army of art handlers, observed by a small army of museum employees and neighbors, unpacked a giant, faceted, glossy, Ferrari red, resin bear from it’s crate, escorted it down the sidewalk, and placed it on our premier sculpture pad at the corner of 21st and Q Streets. More intriguing works from Veilhan are on the way.
I can bear-ly contain my excitement!
