Happy Thanksgiving! Keyword: ‘pie’
November 22, 2012 | ByIn a search for something pleasing from the museum’s collection to share with you all today, I typed “pie” into ArtScope. And what a nice return on my effort: 141 works came up. That’s because pie returns Pierre, and Pierrot, and pier, and pierce; along with photocopies and poppies, and more. I chose a handful of favorites I hadn’t fallen in love with before:
Joseph Raphael, _Pierre Monteux Leading Orchestra_, 1939
Richard Shaw, _Teapot_, 1973
Gerhard Richter, _Spiegel, blutrot_ (Blood Red Mirror), 1991
Charles Scowen & Co., _ Stelae at South Frontispiece of Abhayagiri Dagoba, Anuradhapura_, ca. 1875–90s
Vincent Fecteau, _Untitled_, 2005
Martin Venezky, _Notes on the West: Bang_, 1993
And there even was … a single slice of pie:
Martin Parr, _Untitled (meringue)_, from the series _British Food_, 1995
Enjoy the day, everyone!
