At The Still Point Of The Turning World + August 12, 1999
I was surprised to see Mario Merz's work at the MMK (Museum für Moderne Kunst) in Frankfurt. I first saw Merz's works last summer at Hallen für Neue Kunst in Schaffhausen and I was not allowed to take pictures.

Hollein + Koons
I visited the MMK (Museum für Moderne Kunst) and Schirn Kunsthalle again today. This time I managed to get inside.
The MMK is showing mostly photography currently. So there is nothing too inspiring (to me, at least) to write about. However, this 1991 Hans Hollein-designed museum space is like an architectural playground - I'll never get tired of exploring it although not much has changed since my last visit in 2005.
Schirn is showing Jeff Koons's paintings, which sparked little surprise. Concurrently showing at the historical Liebieghaus, however, are Koons's sculptures. Set in dialogues with five millennia's span of the historical sculpture collection there, Koons's works are as evocative as they are supposed to be.

Frankfurt's Kunstmuseum and Kunsthalle
First day of my German trip ...
Arrived at Frankfurt in the afternoon, tired. Didn't get to see much today. Just walked around the pedestrianized area near the Dom and the Römer. There are a couple of art museums around here that I'd like to visit but apparently didn't have enough time to go in today. The architecture of both museums is not necessarily my type but quite interesting.
