So... it was a great trip, I saw a lot of great stuff, it did not rain this year, but I got to the meeting point early and got hustled by a sweet old lady selling bracelets.
Mr. Ritchie's sketchbooks were amazing and although I got a tour of the archives, I felt as if his sketchbooks were some of the most interesting things I saw throughout the trip. It was very interesting to see his planning and how rough sketches stand as their own.
I also enjoyed the Richard Serra exhibition Rounds. Although they were just black circles, there was a depth to them that change from one round to the next. Some were simply a round an others were rounds with splatters surrounding them. It was interesting to see how one object can take on so many different shapes.
The artist John Baldessari also had an amazing exhibition. The differently (geometric) shaped canvases gave the artwork a new look. His use of photography as well as painting and layering were nicely composed and I loved the look of it coupled with the shape of the canvas.
