Centre Pompidou 1

Bon soir!
Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I've been sleeping too much this week and need to get out of that habit! Last week, I finally got to check out the Pompidou. I'm telling you, this city has more art than I could've ever imagined. One enormous floor was all modern feminist art, and I was of course enamored by every piece. This first post will be about that floor. Before the pictures, though, let me appologize for the lack of artist names and titles I have for you. I took pictures of most of the cards, but many of them didn't turn out well enough for me to read. I'll try my hardest, though!

Emily, Colin, Austin, and Andrew going up the Pompidou! It felt like a roller coaster (of loving).
See what I mean?!

Along with amazing art, the Pompidou boasts some of the most spectacular views I have seen of Paris. Here is Notre Dame from the roof of the Pompidou...
I don't know what this thing is... maybe some lightning rod or something. Kinda boring.

Montmartre on the horizon (Sacre Coeur to be precise)
Mmmm... delicious.
Niki de Saint Phalle "Crucification"
*Notice the vagina
Niki de Saint Phalle "La marriée ou Eva Maria"
*These were both larger-than-life and made in the 1960s.
Betty Tompkins, "Fuck painting #1"
*The description noted there was no profound meaning behind this. The artist just wanted to paint two people having sex.
Tiny ceramic Vaginas!!!!!!!
This sculpture begs for people to stick their head in it...

Still from a video of a nude woman hula hooping nude on a beach. The hula hoop was made of barbed wire. I grabbed a still from the beginning because I knew my mom would see this.
