I was thinking about the Guggenheim this week
because I have plans to visit the James Turrell exhibit
with a friend next week.
It’s an amazing building of course.
I remember visiting with my parents the 60’s.
I loved it
and thoroughly enjoyed running up and down the interior
ramp, as children still do.
These days I enjoy the artwork too.
My favorite exhibit so far was the James Rosenquist
retrospective.
I almost skipped it because I wasn’t a fan of his early
work.
But luckily I went because I loved his “Flora and Florida”
crosshatched paintings from the 80’s.
My enthusiasm was such that I decided to attend his recent
exhibit in 2012, and was lucky enough to meet him. Talk about a thrill.
Ciao
