Brooklyn Museum - Gilbert & George exhibition

Sunday - 14 December

Visit to Brooklyn museum, 20 minute walk from my apartment. 

Enjoyed the art of Gilbert & George, especially 'Flagration' 2008 (see above).

Here are some of the 'Laws of Sculptures' by Gilbert & George 1969.

1) Always be smartly dressed, well groomed, relaxed, friendly, polite & in complete control.

2)Make the world believe in you and pay heavily for this privilege.

3) Never worry, assess, discuss or criticize but remain quiet, respectful & calm.

4) The Lord chisels still, so don't leave your bench for long.

It is all open for interpretation and I am lost in translation.

'Fragile dress' by Andy Warhol 1966 also a must see. 

I also was fascinated by 'The Moorish Room' 1860's remake of a townhouse.

The permanent exhibition of Egyptian Art is also spectacular. The 'Hagop Kevorkian gallery' Ancient Middle East art. An amazing story of the journey of the 12 massive alabaster slabs of ancient art. From the palace of King Ashur Nasir Pal II, Mosul, Baghdad, London, Boston and finally to its current location in the Brooklyn Museum, New York.

New acquisition for the museum; Pablo Picasso 'Woman in Gray' 1942.
