Perhaps equally as impressive as the Centre Pompidou-Metz building is the collection of art inside. We went to see two of the available galleries which were open. End of the decade 1984-1999 and Simple Shapes. The museum works in a close collaboration with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Luxembourgian Museum of Modern Art, or the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe in joint initiatives. One of the most fascinating things about the exhibits was the description and the history of these pieces. Equally as fascinating and staggering were the actual sizes of some of these paintings. Each different and unique, each with its own story to tell and secrets to reveal. For a Sunday morning this was time well spent, and an experience we won’t soon forget.
I think everyone has seen this a 1000 times in a magazine – here is the real thing.
Laura Palmer in a 3D Holograph.
Easter egg on the Goonies poster – it is ET and the boy on the bike. It took almost 30 years for people to spot this.
These giant paintings can only be seen from afar as they simply make no cohesive sense when you look at them up close, they look like simple blobs of paint.
Made in the early 20 century by a Russian artist from wood found on the beach.
This painting was done by repeatedly folding the canvas and painting the exposed edges. It is absolutely massive and hard to look at.
A casual picture next to Picasso.
This is a perfectly flat painting that looks 3D, it also forces you to pick a small place to focus on.
These are 8m tall paintings.
This is just bizarre, it messes with your eyes and head the closer you come to it, and it is not what it seems.
This is a simple clean white disk with a line pained on it and two spotlights, it looks flat but it is 3D.
This was painted by a 84 year old artist. How many birds and stars can you spot in this painting?
This is a piece of carved granite that was seeming bent into this shape.
