I did my first full tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (aka the MET) on Sunday. Below are some of the highlights.
This is a print made from several different carvings for each color. The print represents passengers on the Tube, but it also could represent the Subway. The artist, Cyril E. Power, made it to show how passengers don't interact with each other. I just kinda like it.
These wood carvings were brought back from New Guinea by Michael Rockefeller in 1961. He disappeared during a later trip to the Asmat region of New Guinea and was never found.
The roof of the Met is currently showcasing three pieces by Jeff Koons. The above is "coloring book" As it was a sunny day all three statues were very reflective and hard to look at in person ; ) I like how the buildings on Central Park South are reflected in the artwork.
The heart and dog statues are made from metal (I know you were thinking, what a large balloon dog!)
Off with your head!
On guard!
