A great day looking at art at a new Museum Kuppersmuhle of Modern Art on the inner harbor. The new modern part of the city. A private institution; shows contemporary art from around 1950 to the present. Some wonderful Anselm Kiefer and Gerhard Richter paintings; from the 1960s forward. Pictures attached. It's an old grain elevator building that has been recycled and converted to an art museum. They are under construction now, going to add a glass rectangle on the very top designed by architects Herzoz de Meuron. It will really be a distinctive building when that happens.
From Duisburg, took the train 15 minutes to Dusseldorf and will go to the old city tomorrow to the museum of modern art that has just re-opened after renovation and expansion; was closed for 2 years. Will report back. Ate in a Lebanese restaurant tonight; it is the neighborhood where our hotel (NH) is located. It was very good and I am looking forward to the pastries I brought back to the room with me (after my work here).
Some pictures of the past few days, so you can re-experience my experience.
I would love to be there with you - looks like a great tour. Thanks for sharing your experience with all of us, BJ.
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate we are to have such a wonderful museum in our community! This international project is amazing. I'm a big fan of Barbara Jones.
