100 Museums: Paintings of Buildings That Have Paintings Inside

I went to the ASU Art Museum and looked at the 100 Museums: Paintings of Buildings That Have Paintings Inside exhibit. It was very interesting, because the artist, Rico Solinas used an untraditional canvas for his paintings. He used saw blades as an alternative, which was meant to reflect American work ethic. I thought it was very interesting that he chose to paint museums and no other building. I very much enjoyed the show, especially the one of the Louvre. It brought back memories of when I had the opportunity to visit the museum. It amazed me that the artist spent 13 years putting together this body of work. That is true dedication. I would highly recommend this show if anyone has time to run over and check it out.
