We visited the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art today. They’re celebrating their 30th anniversary. We saw some amazing art, most of which I will share later…
We almost always enjoy stopping at a museum cafe (and gift shop), and Oil on Linen at the Kemper did not disappoint. The cafe staff & service were great (we enjoyed a cocktail, eggplant dip, smoked fish rillette, and a frittata (half of which we’ll be enjoying for breakfast tomorrow). And we each found a little something at the gift shop.
For most of the work exhibited in the museum, there were cards indicating the artist, title, medium, etc.
This work, in the cafe, didn’t have obvious information. Fine, I thought, I’ll just use Google Image Search (as I’ve been doing for a number of things lately, including the IOOF gravesite markers) to find out what it’s called & who the artist is.
But this piece, about the size of an actual rug (8×10 of so) turned up nothing but actual rugs! It’s really incredible. I’ll track it down & share it again when I post the rest.
Meanwhile, we’re packing up and departing for home early tomorrow morning — after a lovely frittata breakfast.
