The Art Gallery of NSW is a treat that should be regularly enjoyed.
On this trip, I discovered that the public is allowed to take photos of the permanent collection. What joy! I very carefully ensured my flash never went, and thoroughly enjoyed a new way to experience art. The use of lighting to accent different pieces made more sense, the use of space... it just makes more sense now.
I would encourage you to go to your local gallery and see what's on show. Many are free to enter and their value is much greater than any assigned dollar figure. You never know, someday they might be showing a work that simply captivates you. Micah is still talking about the above, and I look forward to showing you some of my favourites from here and around the world.

Is that just a black canvas? Or is there something going on there that we can't see in the photo?
ReplyDeleteThe painting is called Blue, Black, Indigo, Black. These are the layers of paint applied.
ReplyDeleteSo yes, Micah is staring at a black canvas.
