Weekend away, part 2

Haven't had time to posting the rest of my thoughts about our Easter trip to New York, so here are the photos instead!


Lichtenstein - a good precursor to my visit to the Tate Modern, where the artist's retrospective ends in a few weeks.

The super-impressive Warhol Campbell's soup collection. Spot the cheddar cheese soup... sounds gross but also kind of delicious, no?

What! Amazing.



Edvard Munch - an obvious obsession with painting people's hands over their cheeks. Quite a good collection of his work - though I was a bit disturbed by the constant recurrence of this theme in so much of his work, to be honest.

Everyone knows I love Mondrian...


Also met my friend Susan for a lovely breakfast at Veselka, near St. Mark's Place. Love this little Ukrainian diner and the little old man that served us!

Standard view from the path that cuts through Central Park.


Sneaky pictures of the inside of the Guggenheim... they no longer let you in just to view the grand foyer - you need to buy a ticket almost immediately upon entering, and there are about 3 security guys ready to kick you out if you're loitering about for a photo!



All in all, had an amazing time – ate a lot, saw some friends, and soaked up the wide roads, the super-tall buildings, and the general feeling of openness that apparently, I've been missing here in London.
