THE MODERN ART EXHIBIT AT THE GRAND PALAIS IN PARIS




LA FIAC AU GRAND PALAIS
I love contemporary art. Visiting the FIAC at the Grand Palais in Paris was a must, of course.
These three pieces were delightful! (there were a lot of pieces made of mirror: broken mirror - by Doug Aitken-, mosaic, kaleidoscopes etc.), a few delicate mobiles like the one below which moved very soothingly slow,

and of course a array of surprising pieces in a various fun materials
Dice
Baseball bats.

The venue alone is worth the trip! Anything looks great in there. 

It was somewhat hot and stuffy and at one point rain came crashing down on the glass "verrière" with enough force that one felt that taking a little more time to admire the offerings...
This aside, there was the well known:  Some Keith Haring, Picasso, Dubuffet and Basquiat. 
And there was the unfathomable: installations that I have to admit, I don't get...it takes all kinds.
I was mesmerized, as always, with what some creative minds can come up with! That will never cease to delight me!


au revoir.
