Exhibition
The Gates by Christo and Jean Claude
Many years ago in Central Park in New York City there was a beautiful installation by artistic duo Christo and Jean Claude called “The Gates”. It was set up along the entire walking path in Central Park and lasted a good long time to the point that it over stayed its welcome in the opinion of some but not mine but after a while some New Yorkers had formed the opinion. The piece was orange frames with safron curtains like those that Buddhist monks wear draped over them. I wish that I had had the chance to experience but I missed out. I just want to say that the staff who approved the project for the park are geniuses.

The Andy Warhol Brillo Box
Andy Warhol is the king of Pop Art and he had been the first to incorporate everyday items that we as a society would never think to turn into art, Andy did it first with the Cambpell Soup can and then with the Brillo Soap Box. There was an art collector family who had a Warhol Brillo Soap Box in their collection and it did become part of their lives which is really rare for a piece of art to be able to do that and the daughter of the family who was a film maker made a documentary about it.

The I Love Lucy Mosaic
at the Lucy Desi Museum The I Love Lucy Mosaic now has become a part of the Lucy Desi Museum in Jamestown,New York. When they were putting together the mosaic fans were invited to send in pictures to be a part of the mosaic and I sent one or two and they were all added and I even have one photo on Desi’s cheek. The Ones I had sent in were me dressed as Ricky Ricardo at the Tropicana before it was Club Babalu and me with the Lucy Ricardo statue at Madam Toussands. I have a copy of the mosaic i just have yet to find a frame.

the Metropolitan Museum of Art
When I was in elementary school I went on a really cool and unforgettable field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City for the first time. It was a fantastic time I wondered around the asian exhibits a great deal as well as through the galleries and it was simply amazing and a fantastic enchancement to the senses. Since then I had gone back also to see an exhibition that featured fine high fashion and couture from Versace as well as other notable fashion designers. Inside this building a lot of magical things have taken place and history upon history has also been made within its hollowed walls.

Bad experience at the Dali Museum
I remember when my cousin and I went to the Dali Museum in Florida. We were about to pay when this punk cashier took our tickets and gave them to other people. The employee who did this insulted the name and legacy of the great Salvador Dali. I was really looking forward to seeing the works of the great Dali as well. Salvador Dali is a master of Spanish art, of Cubism and Surrealism. He is the master known for the artwork of the melting clocks. Maybe in the future my cousin and I can finally see the museum.

History in blue
Like many people who have retired from full time employment, Cathy Corbishley Michel has used some of her time to develop an interest in art. In Cathy’s case the results are quite astounding. Her remarkable cyanotypes have been designed using images sourced from the historical collections of the British Museum and other institutions in England, Scotland and around the world.

Nowt so queer
When I first heard about Queer British Art 1861-1967, the first such exhibition at Tate Britain in London, I was a little uneasy about the use of the term "queer." The word was not as current at the time of the exhibition in 2017 as it is now and, growing up in the 1960s and 70s, the term had always had a negative meaning to me. Tate made it clear at the time that they had consulted LGBTQ+ communities, who were supportive.
