Spinning Chirstmas Tree, New York City, 1977
Considering himself as a ‘street photographer’ this piece of work is unusual to be showing up in his collection of photographs. This photo was clearly taken with a slow shutter speed, capturing most of the colourful light but blurring the ornaments and lights. Although Pattern is suppose to create a sense of unity, in this case it opposes that; there are multiple different patterns showing up throughout the photograph, however they are all different. The different patterns are 'fighting’ one another and just create conflict in the photograph. The converging lines of the two walls meeting together draw your eyes straight to the focal point: the tree.

Trailer for a film about this Sardinian dome, a building which was commissioned by Michelangelo Antonioni and Monica Vitti, who then separated before its completion. There’s an interesting piece in T Magazine about this and a couple of other iconic buildings (FLW’s Talesin and Eileen Gray’s E.1027) which were also born of ill-fated romance.

Centennial Certificate: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Robert Rauschenberg, 1969, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Prints and Drawings
In 1969, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York commissioned Rauschenberg to produce a lithograph commemorating the 100th anniversary of the museum. For this print, he combined representative imagery selected from the Metropolitan’s extensive permanent collection of art. During the project, Rauschenberg learned that the Metropolitan museum’s original goals were detailed in a “certificate” dating to 1870, a document that had been prepared on graph paper. Using this concept, Rauschenberg prepared an updated certificate with his own text, which was then signed by Metropolitan officials, including the museum director, Thomas Hoving. Size: 35 5/8 x 24 3/8 in. (90.49 x 61.91 cm) (image, irregular) Medium: Color lithograph
