My visa arrived today!

Metropolitan Museum

lattice work in the Arab collection

Took a day trip to NYC and spent most of the time in the MET. The new Arab Culture section is quite overwhelming; needs a whole day to see everything.

DeMuth 'Number 5'

Another special exhibition was the Steiglitz Collection and this was one of my favorites. That is aside from favoites from Georgia O'Keeffe [Steiglitz' wife].

bloginfo: Also visited the Frick. Beautiful building and great collection. Caught a few Picasso drawings from the special exhibition.
blognote: Don't miss the video explaining the background of the building.

a day with[out] art...

Visited Real Art Ways this afternoon to engage in any of today's events. This is AIDS Awareness Day. The place was deserted but I did watch parts of the documentary in the video gallery. I had missed Aricoco's performance last month so was able to see her construction. Being alone in the gallery with  her home/cocoon/trailer was a  great experience.
