So our art critic, Jerry Saltz, took a replica of Guernica underground, in the hopes of learning what New Yorkers make of it and helping them understand the work.

Love this!
This is glorious
When was he out today? I always miss him.
WOW! What a marvellous video. Thank you so much for this.
Loved loved loved this
I enjoyed this so thoroughly haha
This is just wonderful to watch.
excellent – even better than the Michelangelo one. Great work Jerry and NY magazine
Such a joy to watch please make more of these !
Fuck ya Jerry!
The significance really goes away when you realize that this painting was commissioned by the Republican side in the Spanish Civil War and they used it for their own propaganda reasons. Guernica, in actuality was a small thing made big through Picaso's propaganda effort
I learned a lot of things here. You should teach. Thank you.
the artist guy is adorable
That was fun! Do more!
<3
can you ask Jerry to unblock me on twitter so the hate in my heart for him can regrow
Geniale!
loved this. thank you.
That black guy has a cool connotation with his remake
I have stood in front of this painting in December 2001 just after 9/11 and just after the death of my father. I carried with me a small album with pictures I took from the World Trade Center. Everywhere people said “ I am sorry about New York”. Near the Reina Sofia is the Atocha Train station that has a lovely Green House. One of the friends I made in Madrid was given my picture album as I left Madrid. In 2004 Atocha and other train station were bombed. I messaged my friend and said “ Sorry about Madrid”.
This is a good , educational , video , however , the cameraperson , or the narrator , should have recognized that , the shiny covering reflections over the master's work is an insult to the creator and the viewer .
ThIs was really cool.
Such a great video – really dynamic. Love the topic, the interviewer, editing, all of it! Please make more content like this.
I see a lot of glare.
