...teaching them the difference between Ferragamo and Fendi or Fiorucci. Presumably, this is why Ferragamo organized two days of brand-building events here last week, beginning with a dinner party, followed by the opening of "Salvatore Ferragamo: Evolving Legend 1928-2008," a retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA), a fashion show and an after party...
...next afternoon, guests gathered at the MoCA forecourt in People's Park, where Ferruccio Ferragamo, Salvatore's eldest son and the company's CEO, launched an retrospective exhibition that consisted mostly of shoes and handbags, some of which had been worn by Taylor, Monroe and Mary Pickford.

Carlin and Walker focused on 15 artists, from the early 20th century to today, who both devised their own visual-narrative...
...also the subject of major exhibitions in museums on both coasts, at MOCA and in New York City, where nearly the whole of the Guggenheim Museum has been given over to "Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated): Art from 1951 to the Present." While that show focuses mainly on the same crucial years as MOCA's, it also looks back to earlier prototypes--Robert Rauschenberg's all-white paintings, Ad Reinhardt's all-black ones--and forward to more recent artists who have slyly adapted what Minimalism first offered...
