Everything's Up To Date In Kansas City

.
So said the
song from the old Broadway musical Oklahoma! so forgive me while I post a couple more KC pix, pending some new local material. The city has a a very good gallery, the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. A new section, the Bloch Wing, opened three years ago and I got to see it for the first time Saturday. The architecture is brilliant, a series of glowing boxes dropping down the hillside perpendicular to the old museum building. The museum is known for its set of four badminton shuttlecocks by Claes Oldenburg on the lawns. This one's space is undergoing some repairs, which makes it all the more bizarre.


TOMORROW: photography gallery.

Bizarre indeed! I was fortunate to find them several years ago just after installation. That shuttlecock looks to be in good shape still.
