During our annual post holiday visit to New York City, we feast on food and art for the soul at The Museum of Modern Art. Kicking things off — a delicious lunch at Modern. The MoMA café with an impressive tapas menu — hip, ultra-crisp setting.
This year we ventured on to drink in all the recent exhibits: Monet’s Water Lilies, Erotic Objects, Irving Penn, The New Typography and Tim Burton. The Tim Burton show needs a revisit. An outstanding body of work, from his childhood drawings to recent projects. I was most impressed with the detail of his sketches and journal entries throughout his career.
In addition to the featured exhibits, I especially enjoyed the permanent retrospective product design collection from the turn of the century to modern day. A blast from the past to see an inflatable orange chair from the 70s. I actually owned the same piece — wished I save it for my collection. On a very busy Saturday and holiday weekend, still taking in this art and design — energizes and keeps creativity ever present.
