PARIS, DAY 2

We went to the Centre Pompidou. On the way there we met a man from Iran. He had come to Paris the day before. We had to part ways because he had to get in line to buy a ticket and we had Museum Passes. Centre Pompidou is Modern Art heaven! It had exhibitions on Caulder and Kandinsky along with works by so many artists I've come to know since going to college. There were plenty of Picassos and Matisses, but to see Orlan, Marina Abramovic, Louise Bourgeoise, Eva Hesse, Carolee Schneeman, the Guerilla Girls, Annette Messager, etc. was AMAZINGLY EXCITING.

You saw Lee Bontecou AND Eva Hesse... JEALOUS! I've seen a lot of Lee Bontecou but no EVA HESSE YET! I was supposed to see her at the DIA but she was not there... :(

I knew you would be jealous. That's why I made sure to take a picture. You would not believe some of the art I have seen on this trip. Photographing it doesn't even do it justice. I <3 EUROPEAN ART MUSEUMS. Enough said.
