En Taxi à Woodbury

Art II, "Spatial Concept: transparencies"

Lucio Fontana do not know if I ever called it one of his works, but his is the scrawl of light that can be seen reflected in the top of this photo, taken yesterday afternoon from the top floor dell'Arengario, in a room with large windows where you can enjoy an enchanting view, that alone would be worth the ticket price, if we had paid ... Yes, because until the end of February in the new home of the Museum of 900 in Milan you enter for free. Just put your heart at peace and be resigned to an hour in a row in the cold and frost and can be admired Picasso, Klee, Balla, Boccioni, Marini, Morandi and Rosai, Burri, said the Fountain (which was not only cuts in the canvas ...), Parmiggiani (toh, who sees!) and other more or less contemporary and more or less strange, but sometimes quite fascinating. Then you want to put the satisfaction of visiting a newly opened museum, its walls still neat to know they paint, the chairs spotless, the windows shining, the bookshop that smells of wood and newly printed books and even the dispensers of hand sanitizer to each floor? Milan, once again, we proved forgiving: after a train trip across a plain gray and white with frost and fog, we emerged on the streets with the sun. Besides the museum, I, Dani and Co we also granted a visit to the manger of the 40 mechanical set up next to the Duomo, coffee with cream in the gallery (6 €!), a salute to Elisa, the Paris-Milan (or vice versa), and a digression into the Disney store (without buying anything, unfortunately). In short, a pretty good Christmas gitina through which I could see familiar things, like the fact that to make me happy enough to take in a museum, and other lesser known, or that, now it's official, I'm getting anti-classical. What do you say, you serious? Greetings and vagabonds, as we have, good 2011!
