I picked this work by Ai Weiwei because its really different than what I've seen. I love how the bikes are stacked up on eachother. It's just really interesting to look at.
Robert Arneson was definitely a very unique artist than most who wasn't afraid to expose the vulgarity and honesty of reality. In this sculpture, he voices his political views of being a "vehicle" for anger and pain. He once said, " I want to make high art that is funny, outrageous and also reveals the human condition, which is not always high.”
The plate above was made by Judy Chicago and was included in the dinner party. The Dinner Party was multi-faceted in that her goal was to introduce the richness of women’s heritage into the culture in a number of ways which included a monumental work of art. The work of art, that was eventually housed at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, consists of a series of Entryway Banners, the ceremonial table representing 39 important historical female figures, the Heritage Panels, which elucidate the contributions of the 999 women on the Heritage Floor, and the Acknowledgement Panels that identify Judy Chicago’s assistants and collaborators. Together, these components celebrate the many aspects of women’s history and contributions. This plate was dedicated to Elizabeth Blackwell, who was notable for being the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. I like this piece due to the stacking and different colors used.
This is a picture of my grandmothers china. It is simple and elegant, I love this set. She was given this before her and my grandfather got married in 1960.
