The next day began with a visit to Moma which began with amazing structures built by Martin Puryear

and the helicopter and then moved through the galleries to this picture that didn't exactly capture my mood and the shaving pictures followed by some sculpture this artwork and Martin standing in the corner for punishment which led us to the cafeteria where as number 245 we were served water this salad and coffee for Suzanne and this panini for me before we headed back to optical illusions

and this installation which celebrated the Fibonacci numbers as we made our way into the modern collection seeing our friend before joining the crowds at and around the Warhol soup cans

and then celebrating technology with the phone the tire and the kitchen of the 50's before we headed back to some squiggly art

and viewed down to the Puryear before admiring a Magritte a Matisse a Picasso and a Mondrian and calling it a museum day. Next we stopped at Rockefeller Center to see the pennies, all 100,000,000 of them

and the men raking them which led to this movie ../../../Sabbat/2007/12.05-08.07HannukahAndNYC// and an appreciation of their vastness of the woman sorting (not by year but by shinyness) and more raking as I took these long views

and then recognized the cause they were there for. While I am impressed by the pennies and appreciate the good works of the people doing this, I do have trouble understanding why they not be sorting by year and why they would let their penny field be poisoned by nickels, dimes and quarters.
