We went to see the new Richard Avedon exhibition that opened last week at the Jeu de Paume. We waited in line for about half an hour to get in, some of that time in the sprinkling rain, but it was absolutely worth it. It was a really great exhibition with a lot of work on show.

This is the best I could do.

Turns out I’m no Richard Avedon.

We came back with a few new pieces of artwork from New Orleans as well…

Aude’s grandfather paints, so I thought I’d post some of his paintings here.

My new employer is a big sponsor of the arts, and is currently sponsoring a Rodin exhibit at one of the London galleries that opens next week. By way of promoting it, they’ve commissioned a number of performance artists to interpret some of his pieces. These guys stood in our lobby, statue-still, for the better part of four hours.

Nearly statue still. One of them stuck his tongue out at me.

Way, way too creepy for 9am, if you ask me.
