January 25, 2008  Unpainted Sculpture  The piece at the Walker
Art Center that I saw and remember always loving is "Unpainted
Sculpture" by Charles Ray. I've never been into modern art all
that much but seeing a life size car being molded and put on
display like that is astonishing. The thought that it's not
finished yet by calling it "unpainted" is ironic to me
considering the actual condition of the car itself. The detail
that went into this can make me appreciate how much work the
artist put into it.
