Random cool thing. Because I can.
Feb. 1st, 2010 11:01 pmThis is the coolest fence EVER. More pictures here.
It's at the Hunter Museum of American Art in Chattanooga, which I visited once when I was in high school, and I remember the fence vividly (not so much the rest of the museum, which I think is more a statement about how bowled over I was by the fence than about anything else). And hey! The artist, Albert Paley, is still alive and working. Check out the Memphis Portal Gate (2008) and then, well, I just started going through the Gates subsection of his portfolio, and my jaw is kind of hanging open.
(The Hunter Museum also has a Duane Hanson, the Fundraiser, which I bet is every bit as disconcerting as the Janitor in the Milwaukee Art Museum--speaking of random cool things.)
