Lose yourself in the dazzling world of Yayoi Kusama—rebel, icon, and worldwide phenomenon
It was quite breezy this morning and we hadn’t been away from home this week for a morning walk. We were hanging around the neighborhood park all week due to the cloudy, foggy, and rainy conditions. It was a brilliant blue sky today so we decided to take a ride in to town. We parked in our old Capitol Hill neighborhood and walked towards the house office buildings, through the botanical gardens, past the American Indian Museum, the Air and Space Museum and in to the Hirshhorn Museum. It was too late to get tickets for the exhibit, so we went in just to see what was new - and were rather disappointed. The entire second floor was under construction for a new exhibit or two. A lot of what was on the third floor didn’t seem like anything new - but it wasn’t very impressive either. I can’t remember any one thing that really was to our taste. Maybe that’s why we always prefer the National gallery of Art that has something for everyone. I’m certainly not an art expert of any kind but really don’t get a lot of what’s in there! Luckily we always have a lot of opportunities to visit and see the changing exhibits - as long as you don’t need a pass to get it in. On the lower level there is the gift shop and on this day there were activities for the kids. We are always happy to check things out - but this time we left is a bit underwhelmed.

FRANCIS BACON (1909-1992) Francis Bacon’s visceral, macabre portraits express the widespread anxieties of post-war Europe and the artist’s own personal demons. Bacon painted howling abstracted faces and crucifixes in claustrophobia-inducing settings, made all the more ominous with his discomfiting palettes. He often took inspiration from art historical forebears such as Van Gogh and Velázquez, translating their dramatic compositions for the chaotic modern age. Bacon’s own violent relationships served as a darker, more personal reference point. Beginning in his mid-thirties, Bacon received considerable acclaim and exhibited regularly in New York, Paris, London, Berlin, and Moscow, among other cities. His work belongs in the collections of the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, the Centre Pompidou, and the Stedelijk Museum, among others, and has sold for upwards of $100 million on the secondary market. In 2013, Bacon’s 1969 triptych Three Studies of Lucian Freud briefly set the record for most expensive artwork ever sold at auction when it achieved $142.4 million.
In 2018, architect and photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto will transform the lobby and interior entrance of the 1974 Gordon Bunshaft–designed museum in Washington, D.C.
