Glass poured and mirrored by Rob Wynne decorates the staircase.
It used to be spiral in the old Art Deco building. I used to be 50 years old, too, going to the White Party in Miami at Vizcaya.
Purity greeted me on the 3rd floor. "Do you know they did this?" an incredulous woman standing next to me asked. "Nope," I replied, pretty sure that her pronoun didn't reflect transgender sensitivity.
Here's one of the rarest items in the permanent collection, attributed to Nosadello. Does dubbing it "Madonna With Jazz Hands" seem disrespectful?
St. Stephen by the Circle of Francisco de Colonia. The Met Breuer did a great exhibit of painted sculpture not long ago.
Ralph Hubbard Norton, a snowbird from Chicago who made his fortune in steel, had a thing for the Ming Dynasty.
Camera-less photography in "Out of the Box".
Props to the Norton's community relations staff for exhibiting the work of local high schoolers. If "Should've Been Bernie" by Maalik Shannon, grade 12, is any indication, Agent Orange isn't a donor.
Joshua Haye, also a senior, created this searing indictment.
An abstract sculpture faces an exterior garden. My camera batteries died before I could photograph the peaceful grounds.
Nina Chanel Abney's "Neon" vividly fills a large gallery with cartoony takes on American injustice. Here's "Vanilla Position." She used acrylic and spray paint to create the huge work this year in time for the museum's reopening. That's an art world variation of "I'm spraying as fast as I can!"
I liked Nick Cave's Soundsuits better.
Damien Hirst had to kill a lot of butterflies to make this.
Finding the entrance to the interior garden is tricky.
