Every Thursday, the writers of the Modern Blog share a few items of interest that they've come across online. These links will generally relate to art, museums, artists, or perhaps they brought up ideas and concepts which we found worth exploring. Enjoy!

• This article about Marfa, TX in Vanity Fair includes Robert Irwin's plans for a new installation.
• The New York Times featured a touching obituary / tribute to feminist art historian Paula Hays Harper.
• D Magazine has a story about how our chief curator, Michael Auping, was able to get an interview with the notoriously reclusive Lucian Freud.
• James Turrell has a brand-new Skyspace piece at Rice University, called Twilight Epiphany.
   
• This week's Modern Art Notes podcast on Tyler Green's Modern Art Notes blog focuses on Richard Diebenkorn's Ocean Park series, which was up in our galleries last fall / winter.
