Join us for a rare opportunity: an intimate tour of Tom Sachs studio led by Tom Sachs.
Sachs is a sculptor, known for his elaborate recreations of various Modern icons, all of them masterpieces of engineering and design. Sachs is the only artist to have a solo show at the Noguchi Museum, other than Noguchi himsef. Sachs is also well known for his Space Program and his Tea Ceremony work.
Together, we’ll then dine (with Tom!) at Michelin Star restaurant Tomino Taberna Gallega, a treasure trove of delicious tapas from Northwestern Spain, located on the border of Little Italy and Chinatown.To call it a tavern may be a misnomer, as the dining room is attractively decorated with handsome wood tables, ocean-blue banquettes, and a stunning skylight overhead.
From lunch, we’ll head to the Judd Foundation for an intimate view into the life of world-renown minimalist artist Donald Judd’s life. Judd’s work sought autonomy through pristinely fabricated objects. This guided tour of his living and studio space in NYC will allow us direct engagement with Judd’s installed spaces.
This ACP Roadtrip includes charter bus travel, private tour of Tom Sachs Studio with Tom Sachs, personalized take home surprises from Tom’s studio, lunch at a Michelin Star restaurant, and guided tour of the Judd Foundation.
