kline of blue
~
One of the very best things about living in DC is the multitude of wonderful FREE museums. One of the very best things about working down town is that I can take my lunch break exploring all the new exhibits. Recently I had lunch at th Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden to view Yves Klein: With the Void, Full Powers. Rarely does an exhibition move me as much as the Kline show has. The visceral effect of the International Kline Blue (invented by Yves Klein) was really indescribable. I highly recommend a visit to the Hirshhorn if you are visiting (or live in) DC. If you can't make it to the retrospective you can view the extensive digital collection here.
