Tate Modern

Eric and I went to the Tate Modern Museum today followed by a quick shop through Borough Market. There a few unique pieces there that I did not fully appreciate, but these are some of the displays I felt were worth noting.
Monet's "Water Lilies". Eric knew what this was called before even looking at the cheat sheet.
This is too good - Whoever can come up with the best caption for this one wins!
All this stuff is actually not what it appears to be. That's not a VHS, it's made of something completely different. No, those cookies are not edible. And no, those boots are not flexible and you cannot wear them. There was a whole room like this.
Eric looks good, but what are those things behind him?
Oh, it's 100 MILLION hand painted porcelain sunflower seeds - we wondered where the artist stored these before this exhibit was brought to the museum.
Someone stuck a mirror on a canvas and called it art...we made our own art.
Eric said I was the most beautiful piece of art there...Awwwwww! This is his modern art photo.

  1. I would name this last piece of art: "Perfect skin".
    And I am thinking the contest art display is titled, "cmybheinie"

  2. "I don't have a thing to wear!"

    The seeds were definitely stored in large black garbage bags.yup.
    Now Jaime: I'm a little surprised you didn't know that was Monet's Water Lilies. Don't you rember the book you got in 4th grade-ish about Monet's Garden? (it's at my house now)
