Your photography of it is indeed very professional, nevertheless.
Thank you and, indeed, de gustibus et coloribus...

Beautifully captured all images. 3 is like 3-d version while 9 is like captured from a particular angle. Enjoyed it. Really amazing.
Thank you, DSP.

it is a relief to see that the camera has not captured the Emperor's New Clothes.
Well, there actually was something there...

A load of pretentious crap.
I understand where you're coming from (I used to feel if I had to think about a piece/body of art, it wasn't really art). But really, this guy had a very interesting view on art and its contemporary practices, and reading up on his life, work and concepts was just an extra step in my appreciation of the exhibit - I was quite directly enjoying his concepts even without thinking them. He managed to put them in his work without their having to be necessarily explicited. That's an artistic tour de force in my book.

Thank you, Will and Algi. My favorites as photographs are 1 and 9, but I'm pretty much ok with the whole set

Fast eye-detection AF wouldn't be any use on that lot -
No use at all! K-01 and M28 3.5 FTW!

That is the spirit indeed.

Number 5 reminds me of a 3-d version of a Miro print.
Hmmm, in that photograph I can see that. Not as much in reality, though. But West did include citations of others' works in his own, either to honor them, mock them or, most often, both at the same time...

These, by the way, are actually scale models of large outdoor sculptures.

Ah yes, I too see how some of that work might have inspired you, Bill. The video on that webpage is pretty interesting, too!

#3 and #4 for me, please - they give context and breathing room. I rather like that you kept the images a bit dark, no need to brighten everything up all the time, there are gloomier days than others
