A word on the Hirschhorn, it's amazing. It's a better version of the Guggenheim. It's an amazing place to view art with a design that flows organically and somehow distracts you completely from a concern about place or scene of direction. It's collection splits evenly between painting/photography and sculpture--with a taste of installation/video art for fun. And it's free.
Without further ado, here are seven randomly selected pieces from the current selections from it's collection on display. Enjoy. None are of a quality to reproduce, but all should work to whet your appetite to come to D.C. and see the magic for yourselves!
