MAD Museum

Jin-Sook So STEEL MESH UNTITLED 2007 steel mesh, painted, electroplated silver and gold leaf browngrottaarts.com

One of the highlights of a recent museum-going trip to New York accompanied by friends from the Nantucket art community was a visit to the Museum of Art & Design (MAD) on Columbus Circle. Work by Korean-Swedish artist Jin-Sook So similar to the piece shown above is included in the museum's permanent collection and was on prominent display. This is just one of the many creative works that inspired and amazed me during my first visit to this outstanding museum. Slash: Paper Under the Knife is an awesome exhibition that is a must-see if you're in New York. It runs through April 4, 2010. For more information, go to http://www.madmuseum.org/
