Squares

15th October 2009 by Violette

I was thinking of writing an article specifically about New York buildings as I fell in love with them again after spending a few days there last week. But while I was browsing the This is Now Flickr group I stumbled upon this picture and simply loved it straight away. I love the composition and the extraordinary dynamism created by the different colors of the squares. And it’s only a few minutes later that I discovered that it had actually been taken at the Guggenheim Museum in 2006.

I can imagine very well this piece of art interacting with the visitors in the fantastic space white space of the Guggenheim. While I visited I got to see the Kandinsky exhibition (which previously passed by the Tate Modern in London, the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Städtische Galerie im Lebenhaus in Munich).

I wish I had words to describe how truly amazing this museum feels. Even though the museum was built in 1959, it still feels very modern, very comfortable and open, unlike most of the constructions from that era and more recent buildings.
