The first thing that struck me about the gallery was the amount of art it contains that I recognize or is the work of artists I remember. For example, the gallery includes some of Gianfranco Gorgoni's photos of the environmental sculpture Spiral Jetty:
Although I had never seen this piece before, I immediately recognized the name of Kiki Smith. This is the feminist artist's Europa:
Here are a few other artists I recognized:
Jeff Koons:
Balloon Dog
Robert Rauschenburg:Opal Gospel
I really love this piece because of the use of rich hues and calming imagery. Even though Rauschenburg juxtaposes different forms of media, the piece forms a cohesive whole.
Back Out:
Even though it consists mostly of mundane images of sports, the abstracts portions give the composition a mystical vibe.Pablo Picasso:
Mosquetaire
And of course I couldn't omit Picasso. This isn't my favorite Picasso piece, but it was the best one they had. I dislike it because of its unfinished look, which gave me an appreciation for Picasso's more famous pieces, which on the surface look unfinished because of their abstractness, but really have a lot of thought put into them.
