he is good
recently was at the Pompidou centre in Paris - a lot of the modern art is hit or miss
some Jackson Pollock was good, some awful
was another dude whose name escapes me had some decent items
few years earlier was at the David Lynch exhibition - his art is mental but i liked it
David Lynch's retrospective exhibit was in Moscow this spring. Really interesting stuff. He is a strange, twisted man!
I was just in Venice for the art Biennale and saw tons and tons of modern art - everything from painting and photography to video installations and sculpture.
Very true that modern art is hit or miss, but I feel so much richer for having gone. Some of the stuff was truly interesting (highlights: Russian, Australian, Brazilian, Egyptian, Dutch and Japanese pavilions, and the Unconditional Love exhibit) while others made you feel like someone was taking the p1ss! (looking at you, Swiss! French too...)
If anyone is still looking for a vacation or weekend break idea for this summer, head over to Venice for a few days. The Biennale goes on until October. I wish I had time to go back because there are so many exhibits around town we just didn't have time to see it all.
