Omega, 1973 by Lynda Benglis. The other day I heard a promo on NPR for a story asking the question "where did that colorful 80s style come from?" I immediately thought of this piece...from 1973. It also reminds me of the cover of Elvis Costello's live album from that time. Look it up! #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #pdxart #portlandart #art #portland #the80s #elviscostello #elviscostelloandtheattractions #sculpture #lyndabenglis #benglis #liveathollywoodhigh

I took so many pictures of this #jeffkoons basketball. I so much wanted for it to suspend in the center, but it never did. And now it's gone. #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #portlandart #portland #koons #koonsball

Men and the Sea, 1953 by Balcolm Greene. This painting is significant to me. This precipitated my first Wikipedia correction. The entry misidentifies Portland Museum of Art (Maine) as the location of this painting. #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #portlandart #balcolmgreene #greene #painting #oilpainting #art #abstract #abstractart #museum #sea

This was just hung. It had no wall label. In the corner it says '59 Frankenthaler.' I see a cross. I see a woman. I see a wolf.
