No Photographs, No Fishing, please.

A Delightful interlude to any Summer museum hopping day...the anticipation of viewing a 

Nauman exhibit, is always well worth the extra flourish of taking an elevator bank to the left of the 

building elevators, to a designated floor, past a reception of gallery assistants, around the corner

and down the hall...to the charming security post's greeting of "No photographs, no fishing, please." 

How thoughtful to have an entire fountain of fish that cools and refreshes as you meet and greet the cast bronze specimens of North American rivers and marvel at what an artist who consistently heightens observation and awareness brings to life.

         Bruce Nauman. 100 Fish Fountain. Cast bronze bass, catfish, and whitefish. 2005.
