Têtes Et Queue

It was my first day in Berlin.  Although the Neue Nationalgalerie is currently closed for renovation, its sculptures on the terrace are still accessible.  Details of Alexander Calder's Têtes Et Queue:

Mies van der Rohe's quiet Neue Nationalgalerie in twilight with zero visitors:

Calatrava's wings @ Milwaukee

I took a day trip to Wisconsin's Milwaukee Art Museum, which is 1.5 hours by Amtrak train from Chicago.  Santiago Calatrava's 2001 wing-like Quadracci Pavilion brought me there and I was not disappointed.  The dramatic interior space created by the great Spanish architect is absolutely phenomenal.  You have to be there to experience it.  Its setting by the vast and open Lake Michigan is just as stunning ...

Alexander Calder's mobile hangs fittingly in the entrance lobby.  I love those circles.
