Two circles


 Entering the Wadsworth Atheneum's Gengras Court in Hartford, I encountered two circles.  

In the foreground, we face dissident Chinese artist Al Weiwei's "Grapes," formed from 26 traditional three-legged stools.  On the wall behind it is one of American artist Frank Stella's so-called "Protractor" works, named for its careful creation with a protractor and compass.

Nucely photographed. I walked past the Ai Weiwei sculpture Arch outside the National museum earlier this week. Many visitors have no clue as to what it is though.

Love them both, Jack.
