点评:The National Gallery of Art has two buildings plus an outdoor sculpture garden. I visited the East Wing, which is dedicated to modern art. On the roof terrace, you can see a giant blue rooster. "Hahn/Cock", 2013, by Katharina Fritsch, looks over the city. The main reason I came here was to see "The Stars We Do Not See: Australian Indigenous Art". This exhibit from the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne will be touring the U.S. One of the traditional Aboriginal stories is the Seven Sisters. Memorial Poles were traditionally used as coffins, but are now produced for the contemporary art market. One interesting room featured conceptual maps of the land of the First Peoples, made between 1987 and 2007.
There is much to enjoy at this museum, including an outdoor sculpture garden. You can easily spend several hours here.
翻译:国家美术馆由两座建筑和一个户外雕塑花园组成。我参观了东翼,这里专门展示现代艺术。在屋顶露台上,可以看到一只巨大的蓝色公鸡。这件名为《公鸡》(Hahn/Cock,2013)的作品由卡塔琳娜·弗里奇(Katharina Fritsch)创作,俯瞰着整座城市。我来这里的主要目的是参观“我们看不见的星星:澳大利亚原住民艺术展”。这个展览来自墨尔本维多利亚国家美术馆,即将在美国巡回展出。七姐妹是原住民的传统故事之一。纪念柱过去曾被用作棺材,但现在也被用于当代艺术市场。其中一个有趣的展厅展出了1987年至2007年间创作的原住民土地概念地图。
这座博物馆有很多值得欣赏的地方,包括一个户外雕塑花园。你可以在这里轻松地消磨几个小时。
