I can't tell you how satisfying it would be for me to see this float to the center of the tank before it leaves Portland. One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank, 1985 by Jeff Koons. It's position on 4/20/17. #pdxartmuseum #portlandartmuseum #jeffkoons #koons #koonsball #conceptualart #sculpture #ncaa #finalfour right hand corner. Ideally it's in the center. Where it was Friday. #pdxartmuseum #portlandartmuseum #jeffkoons #koons #koonsball #conceptualart #sculpture
Preliminary sketch of the bottom right panel -- a re-creation of what is thought to be the missing original panel. Alterpiece with the Crucifixion and Scenes From the Life of St. John the Evangelist, 12th Century by Francescuccio Ghissi. An art work reunited. #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #portlandart #portland #alterpiece #jesuschrist #stjohn #painting #artrestoration #francescuccioghissi
From Constructing Identity. I found the label on this painting confusing. I do love the painting. Scroll over to see the label. #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #portlandart #portland #museum #constructingidentity #painting #blackart #africanamericanart #sundayclothes

Three Studies of Lucien Freud, 1969 by Francis Bacon. This was displayed in Portland in 2014, making, what I call, "a tax visit" to Oregon. I was the first in line on that Saturday morning. An extraordinary experience! #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #portlandart #portland #francisbacon #lucienfreud #painting #triptych #christies
Smash,1963 by Ed Ruscha. More of a selfie of me on the 4th floor of the Jubitz Building. This was from two years ago. The painting has since moved on. I miss it. #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #portlandart #portland #throwback #edruscha #popart #painting #conceptualart #jubitz #art #humor #ruscha

Child With Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park, New York City, 1962 by Diane Arbus. Arbus is one of the few photographers whose work is immediately recognizable. #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #portlandart #portland #dianearbus #blackandwhitephotography #photography #centralpark #trump #syria
Fourth of July -- Jay, New York, 1954 by Robert Frank. This is part of The Americans series. I've had this in my camera for some time. I thought the reflection was my fault, bit it is part of the original shot. #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #portlandart #portland #robertfrank #theamericans #blackandwhitephotography #photography #beauty #art #wpa
Untitled, 1965 by Ray Wing. I fell in love immediately with these women. #portlandartmuseum #pdxartmuseum #portlandart #portland #blackandwhitephotography #photography #beauty #raywing
One Ball Total Equilibrium Tank (detail), 1985 by Jeff Koons. UPDATE: I've been keeping track of the location of the ball. It started out in the lower right hand corner. Ideally it's in the center.

Watched Herb & Dorothy this week. I have been so inspired by their love of "difficult" art -- minimalist and conceptual art. They were a librarian and postal worker who amassed a priceless art collection in their tinny, New York rent controlled apartment. They donated much of their collection to the National Gallery and divided the rest of the collection to the 50x50 program -- 50 pieces to 50 museums, one in each of the US states.
