Belgian artist Luc Tuymans is having the first U.S. retrospective of his work, a collaboration between the Wexner Center for the Arts and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition is on view at the Wexner Center, on The Ohio State University campus, until January 3, 2010. The Village Voice writes, "Tuymans gets gravity, memory and beauty to do a hypnotic dance of life and death." Recently, WOSU's Christopher Purdy toured the retrospective with the artist and the Wexner Center's Executive Director, Sherri Geldin.
