Backstage


There was one exhibit by an artist in the largest gallery at the museum, that for some reason, didn't reach me.  There were a number of temporary rooms, like stage sets, with paintings on tulle fabric - "veils" - hanging on the walls .The artist is very famous and it's a huge exhibit.  What did grab my attention was this small white statue, one of two, that was on display behind the walls that made the rooms for the exhibit.  It was like being backstage, and the elegance of the statue seemed in contrast to its surroundings.  This was deliberate on the part of the artist, of course.  It was an exhibit in itself.
