giacometti/the louisiana museum, copenhagen

I decided to stray for a moment yesterday. I just needed a little mental vacation. So I looked through my images from Copenhagen and rested on this one for along while. Giacometti. Goodness I love him so...

The Kickstarter is ongoing so please do pledge if you are excited about my new book, Handcrafted Modern Europe. And it looks like if you live in San Francisco, you will be able to get a proper sneak preview of the new book. I am planning a sneak preview slideshow! More details soon! March 7. Save the date!

louisiana museum/humlebæk, denmark

During my stay in Denmark I headed out the the Louisiana Museum with a friend. My goodness what a beautiful museum. Just a couple of random images from the day. I ended up being far more enamored with the architecture of the place that the main exhibit which was on New Nordic Architecture. Of course the Giacometti exhibit was a lovely surprise. You can never see too many Giacometti's. I even saw one in one of the houses I shot. But that is another story...

Giacometti and Anselm Kiefer are a nice combo.

foundation maeght/alberto giacommetti (and friends)

This is what brought me to Foundation Maeght. In a word, Giacometti. They have an amazing collection. In fact, in the central courtyard, there are usually all Giacometti's,  or at least I think there used to be. There was only this one when I visited, but she made me cry with joy.
There were a few other pieces of sculpture as well (dazzling understatement, btw. Super incredible collection!), but I was in such a daze I didn't pay attention to who they were by.

PS - I have been informed by my loyal readership that the last three images are all Miro sculptures. Thank you everyone, you are the best! I swear I will pay more attention next time. But that Giacometti had me a stirred up!
