Turns out that the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart is an amazing place. Just a bit off the beaten path and by the big giant construction hole, the museum has a vast collection of great stuff.
By far the highlight of this visit was the special installation of Manifesto by Julian Rosefeldt. I am not a big fan of video art installations, but this one grabbed me by the attention and did not let go. Go see it if you can.
The official trailer here does not do it justice at all
But that’s not all. The museum has an extensive collection of great stuff from obscure things that you wish you had seen before to things you’ve seen 100 times but not in real life yet.
Here is my set of things to remember seeing.
So, just go visit. You owe yourself that.

Snow got you stuck in Chicago? No worries, there is art to be pondered at the Art Institute.
Take a Walk.
On to modern.
Up to contemporary.

Cyn and I brought along Ame and Ant on this year’s Kandinsky run to the Guggenheim in NY. We snapped some surreptitious bits, and only got caught 5 times.

In addition to Kandinsky, there was Gutai.
After museum and a very nice dinner at Aureole (a Charlie Palmer project) and went to see Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe with Tracy Letts as George. Phenomenal.
A trip down to Raines Law Room was unsuccessful. Saturday.

Who knew that Minneapolis had an unbelievable collection? Wow. Must go see Minneapolis Institute of Arts.
Kandinsky from two eras.
And a token Van Gogh (there are a bunch of these on Earth)
Juxtaposition
You may not have heard, but people from Minnesota are all shockingly nice. This is all rather concerning.

Pomona, USC, UCLA, Emerson (Hollywood)…whatever.
The LACMA was a great break from the college tour. Watching Jack watch art. Yep.
Jack got to see my favorite painting in LA.
Found art.
Made art.
