I still remember the trips my mother took with me to museums and ballet and they have stuck with me for life. Alexander Calder is my favourite.

Art has morphed into commerce for him, as it would for me, given the chance. I'd sell ad space on this blog in a heartbeat if I had the numbers to sustain it. Who am I to criticize? But the tower is a bit of a sloppy mess. <br /><br />daisy: I think the girls could use you in their lives. There are no sharp edges in the suburbs of New Jersey. Only blunted round corners.

Morris Louis -- I've loved his work since I found it in Edward Lucie-Smith's book "Modern Art Since 1945" which I read and re-read over and over again in my adolescence. I love that "colour field" style, I think it's called.<br /><br />Anish Kapoor--unfortunately any admiratino I might have once had for him as an artist has vanished now, with his kowtowing to money and power, an example of which you give. A million pound plus empty home of his in London is being squatted at the moment by some art activists. From Mr Kapoor -- silence, on the terrible squandering, privileged waste of leaving a large house in a fashionable suburb of London empty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-65011320961303774872012-07-27T06:17:07.910-04:002012-07-27T06:17:07.910-04:00Dinah: Take 'em!
