This post could be called Part Two of my adventures in Modern Art. These are the modern art pieces that were too big to fit into the East Building of the NGA (and they're designed to be outside and not be destroyed, I guess). Here goes...
 |
| Aurora, Mark di Suvero, American, 1992-1993, steel |
I'm not entirely sure what the artist was trying to do, but my initial thought was that all the letters of Aurora can be found in this piece. What do you think?

| Thinker on a Rock, Barry Flanagan, British, 1997, cast bronze |
Just because I took a
picture of it's twin in the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden.
 |
| Graft, Roxy Paine, American, 2008-2009, stainless steel and concrete |
A graft is where two different plants come together to make a new one, right? I wonder what the graft is in this. Maybe it's the combination of using steel, a nonliving substance, to make a tree, something that is living. Whatever the reason, it's beautiful and the branches are so delicate.

| Fountain in center of sculpture garden |
This is an awesome fountain in the middle of this garden. The water coming out of those pipes is like water coming out of a fire hose--incredibly powerful! A nice relaxing place in the middle of busy Washington DC.
