Strolling Around the Museum

Ian and I visited the Joslyn Art Museum this weekend. We happened to pick a day when the main exhibition had just changed. I’m not sure what the last exhibition was, but the new one was “THE HUMAN TOUCH: Selections from the RBC Wealth Management Art Collection”. It seemed to be about the human form, as you might surmise from the title.

You can see some of The Human Touch Collection here.

I think my favorite things this time were:

The miniature asian sculptures

The Degas ballerina.

I have to admit that some of the art made us laugh… like the big canvas that was painted black and each corner was a squared-off section painted in another color.    It didn’t seem like something anyone would pay a lot of money for.  :)

    I really liked Nan Goldin’s “Guido on dock” – awesome picture. Not so sure I liked it *quite* as much when I found out it was worth $30,000! Nevertheless, a really clever work of art that pushed all the right buttons for me.

    If we win the lottery, it’s mine.. :-)
