MoMA


As a teen I was introduced to the Museum of Modern Art by way of a friend's book. Before we left for NYC Katrina suggested we go to the MoMA because a friend told her about it.


What a delight! The girls and I took in a Picasso display, many interactive installations and some very thought provoking works including a piece called "Wishes" an acrylic box containing many little white cards each inscribed with a wish from a friend or acquaintence of that artist.


In this photo Katrina is standing in front of a piece for which the artist covered himself in a sticky substance (vaseline) and then in a pigment, finally he pressed himself agained the surface to be printed.


The creativity and imagination in MoMA is inspiring. I think we would agree this is a must for anyone with a flare for the creative.
