Hurray! A positive statement.

So, I gather you've been there and walked around it.

I'd be interested in your other ideas re the Bilbao. We haven't gotten there yet; I teach modern architecture in the spring, and I would relish personal experiences (or even images) to aid in the discussion.

You can even reply privately if you prefer.

Thanks.

No, I've not been there, I think you misread my comment. At any rate, the Tate Modern was my introduction to truly soaring, gigantic art. Pictures just do not have the scale and impact generated by the real thing.

"Art"itecture was late in being added to my experience. So much of art can be appreciated from afar with reproductions and photographs, but things like these beautifully sweeping curves would have to be experienced as intended. Sigh.

Oh, to be in Spain in the Spring!
