The AGO ago...





Unlike the YSL show in Montreal, I knew I wasn't supposed to take pictures in the AGO. Only in designated areas... While Frank Gehry's addition to the AGO really takes the structure of the AGO to a new and definitely world class level, I still feel like the content could get better. I just did a quick walk through, and recognized a lot of pieces from past visits. Many of them I had photographed in earlier days when that was allowed. Shot in black and white with a Nikon FM2 35mm film camera. Wow. No question there is a lot of stuff to see at the AGO, and some big hitters like Warhol's Elvis and a massive Riopelle... Why is it I think they should have more pieces of that magnitude. I'm not done yet, I'll be back to the AGO for a more in depth study of the new offerings. I love what's happening on level four and five.

  1. Quoi qu'il en soit, je suis bien content d'avoir vu ce couloir splendide (troisième photographie ci-haut). Quelles formes et la chaleur du bois - ou si ça n'est pas du bois ça y ressemble...

    Très belle photo. :)
