The Broad Museum~~
Yesterday I didn’t have time to post more about the The Broad (/broʊd/ US dict: brōd), a new contemporary art museum in Downtown, Los Angeles. The museum is named after philanthropist Eli Broad, who financed the $140 million building, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, to house part of his contemporary art collection.
Chicago Expo ~~
On our last day in Chicago, we visited the Navy Pier, where the International Exposition of Contemporary & Modern Art (Chicago Expo) is taking place this weekend. Hundreds of galleries are showing beautiful artwork by artists from all over the world. A fantastic exposition. Here’s just a glimpse. More later…
“The Bean” ~~
We are visiting Chicago for the first time this week and I am overwhelmed by the city’s natural and architectural beauty. I’ve always known it was a great city with impressive architecture, but it has exceeded my expectations. I’ve taken lots of photos but will save them for later. For today’s 365 project I’m posting images of one of the most interesting attractions of Chicago’s Millennium Park. The huge bean-shaped mirrored sculpture by artist Anish Kapoor, called “Cloud Gate” but mostly known as “The Bean.” It’s an impressive piece of art that is both interesting and fun. Too bad there are so many silly tourists around it taking pictures all the time. Ahem… 🙂
A Day in Hollywood~~
I went to Paramount Pictures Studios today, where the Paris Photo Los Angeles is taking place. This international art fair for photography and moving image is an annual event in Paris, at the Grand Palais, and also here in LA. Lots of beautiful stuff. Here is a taste of the event: location, people, exhibits.
Sometimes art can be so twisted…
