Puts Minneapolis on the Cultural Map
Tuesday, August 16, 2005
Boasting one of the best Modern Art Collections anywhere in the world, the Walker has been on the leading edge of Modern Art curatorship for much of the last 50 years.
Some highlights of the permanent collection include: Chuck Close self-portraits, George Segal figurative sculpture works, and the entire Cremaster cycle of video work (only one of 5 sets in existence) by Matthew Barney.
As for the current Museum structure--while I like the new expansion-I wish they would have done more to integrate the older building into the style of the newer one. And the footbridge that connects Loring Park to the Sculpture Garden has always grated on my nerves with its "Miami Vice" pastel colors-a completely inappropriate way to frame in the Minneapolis skyline.
