What do the following images have to do with Cincinnati?
Okay, the answer is: not much, except they tell part of the story of where we've been for a month, and specifically after the holidays.
The first image is from the
National Aquarium in Baltimore, and the second is the ocean room at the Smithsonian Museum of
Natural History.
The third is from the sculpture garden outside of the
Hirshhorn Museum of Modern Art, and actually DOES have a tie to Cincinnati... as soon as I saw it, I figured it had to be by
Mark di Suvero, who created the similar
red steel sculpture that sits outside of the Cincinnati Art Museum. There's another of his pieces, "For Kepler," in front of Miami University, which is where I first learned about di Suvero.
We're back on track now-- no more traveling for a while, and some exciting Cincinnati news to share soon (yeah yeah, some of you have already heard). Hold on tight, and I hope you had a great holiday!
It's a free museum with a fantastic private collection, which was on display when I recently visited.
Charley Harper!
When I visited, it was to see my incredible friend Dave. He spent a handful of months in Berlin with an art residency and was describing his stay for the museum patrons. If you stop in, say hi to Dave-- he'll be around for a few more months, until he scuttles off to Germany again.
