Smart Art ?

 I have a good friend in California who is a collector .... She recently showed me this photo which I thought was some sort of art statement.

When in fact ......

  These are a collection of bottle caps for recycling.... Pretty right?  Just shows that grouping lots of the same things together looks good.   It's all about collecting- right Heidi?

 It's Eco Smart ART!  Have you got any collections you'd like to share?

Addendum to Sol Lewitt at the Pompidou

Just walked some of the Christmas windows in Paris and saw that maybe the Sephora people had gotten a bit of inspiration from the Sol Lewitt exposition at the Pompidou in Metz, France.

Le Centre Pompidou Metz

Before taking off for Paris, we visited the Centre Pompidou in Metz  over the weekend.   (We've been staying with my in-laws in Lorainne... )  The exhibits were not especially scintillating and definitely too much for les deux petites but I did like the architecture of the building and the Sol Lewitt exhibit was pretty cool to see.

Underground Art - Culture on the Run

I'm on my way to Christine Chin Day Spa to get my brows done (yes, Christine Chin the eyebrow-nazi) and because of some funny logistics I am taking the M train for the first time ever.

I picked it up at 52nd and Lexington and if you are interested in seeing some fantastic mosaics this is the place to hop on the train.  These glass mosaics were installed in 2004 and created by Al Held.  

a must -see in person... the iphone doesn't do them justice!

Love the ribbon mosaic that undulates along the wall.

There is so much art throughout the New York  Subway system.  Luckily there is  a pretty good interactive website that allows you to see examples of the art and indicates the line and stop where you can see it.  Pretty cool. Would make for an interesting day of culture with some out -of- towners.  Or just a little cultcha during the day.  Do you have any favorite underground art installations?  For more art in public spaces check my Culture on the Run post on work by the artist Peter Woytuk.
