a few days after the Christie's show, me and ko went to ifc to check out the Parade by Picasso. it's a stage curtain with 10.52 meters high and 16.2 meters wide, so it's quite a sight inside ifc. they had to seal all the windows nearby and tuned down the light so as to protect the curtain from too much light. it was really like being in a theatre.

this curtain was borrowed from the Centre Pompidou, speaking of which, the most vivid memory of Centre Pompidou would be felix spinnng the Bicycle Wheel by Marcel Duchamp, the red roses in the Restaurant Georges at level 6, and of coz our strolling thou the magic little rooms.

also, i have to thank mike for bringing me this book, Centre Georges Pompidou Paris for he was there in ifc reporting the Parade event.

woke up so early coz I have to meet up Ko and Killa at Ritz-Carlton Hotel for a preview exhibition, Impressionist and Modern Arts by Christie's. The paintings will be put up at auction later in NY.
A total of 17 paintings, they are mostly works by Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Alfred Sisley, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Cézanne, Joan Miro, Paul Gauguin and Edgar Degas.
Here are my favorites:
1. Soleil de printemps – Le Loing by Alfred Sisley
2. La caresse des étoiles by Miro

Later at work, I was so sleepy that I have to take a nap in the gym room. But I found the massage chair so disturbing that later I slept on a bed. A weird experience to sleep so properly at office.
