if i could only visit one museum whenever i return to paris, i think i would pick the pompidou centre. this is mainly because the last time i was there i spent so much time staring at the above painting that i pretty much missed the rest of the museum's incredible collection. (the original is huge if that helps your perspective).
i am a total art museum geek, and i've been extremely fortunate to have a family that has shared this love with me. more recently, i've had the pleasure of beginning to collect fine art which has been a really amazing experience so far.

unfortunately, my office is situated about 500 feet from the state street art fair, which means the commute to work was eight shades of no. the middle aged ladies hunting for knick knacks have officially taken over until next week. though this means nothing good for my strong desire to run over pedestrians small road rage issue, it has gotten me in the artistic spirit! with this in mind i thought i'd share with you art buffs my all time favorite artists, whose work i highly recommend you explore!
