National Gallery of Art

 

The East Wing of the National Gallery of Art in Washington has now re-opened after refurbishment.  It has a number of galleries around a vast concrete and marble atrium with some huge pieces of modern art.

 

Downstairs a metal and lead aeroplane sculpture caught David's eye.

 

We visited a photography exhibition in the upstairs gallery - but did not take any photos.

Outside the gallery was this rather unusual installation entitled 'Lick and Lather'.

 

As we got close to this end of the line of sculptures, it became clear what they are made of - there was a strong smell of dark chocolate.  

 

The 'lather' end of the line of sculptures was, of course, carved from soap.
