Three New Yorks doesn’t really work but I’m sticking with my theme.
We visited The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). It was packed but worth the visit. They have The Starry Night which, of course, was extremely popular so I only managed to spend a few minutes looking at it before all the camera flashes drove me away. It was wonderful though. They also has some stunning Monets but I was very disappointed in their single Lichtenstein painting on display. I was hoping for more. After all, Roy Lichtenstein worked out of New York for all of his career and I would’ve thought MoMA would’ve had a few more paintings on display.
The Cindy Sherman exhibition surprised me. I’ve never been a fan of her work but it was easily my favourite thing that we viewed. It was amazing to see one artist change her physical appearance so much for her portraiture. There was also a wonderful display of photos by a turn of the century French photographer, Eugène Atget.
The other cool thing was a real helicopter suspended in a floor to ceiling space.
Your average, run-of-the-mill umbrella right?
Ta-dah!! This is my new umbrella, bought from the MoMA store. It might be raining but under my brolly it’s all blue sky and fluffy clouds.
