GAINING MOMENTUM AT METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART
Its hard for an artist to know when his or her career is about to take off.
But one pretty good sign is having a work showed up by the mighty Metropolitan Museum of Art for its permanent collection - and then having that work displayed in a special exhibit, not far from pieces by 20th century titans like Christo and Robert Smythson.
That's what happened to art photographer Matthew Brandt in summer 2013, when his monumental landscape, 'Mary's Lake, MT 9' 2012 proved a crowd pleaser at the Met's Land Marks show.

New York's thriving art scene has been catnip to generations of young artists, with a mega cast of museums, galleries, art schools, auction houses and collectors.
All this makes the town of New York a prime hunting ground for anyone eager to spot a fresh talent , watch a promising artist blossom or augment a collection. Even artists not in residence seek a nod from a New York museum press from a New York critic and representation by a New York gallery.
