Nine days ago, Rahulio Ganpuleone went to Phoenix Art Museum and Throne Brewing Co. Yayoi Kusama Fireflies Infinity Mirror Room was the first exhibit, for me to see. The picture above is Cold Darker Matter, which is created by Cornelia Parker. Parker is a sculptor, that created multidimensional charcoal 'drawings.' Fireflies Infinity Mirror room will close on July 5, 2023. This room is going through major renovations and restorations. Furthermore, Infinity Mirror room may open in September 2023 back to the public for their viewing pleasure in Phoenix Art Museum. Yayoi Kusuma had her first breakthrough with Infinity Mirror room - Phalli's field in 1965. This information is from Smithsonian Institution, and it can be viewed further at www.si.edu. Let's go back to Phoenix Art Museum, for a dark room lined with mirrors. Infinity mirror room has LED strings lights cascading down from the ceiling. This layout will make the room look like there are thousands of fireflies, hanging in the air. Next, the Katz Wing is one floor [or area] to divulge Geoffrey Beene's iconic fashion design. The exhibit titled MOVE: The Modern Cut of Geoffrey Beene displays the dresses; shirts; shoes; and other garment apparel that he refined/designed over four decades. In this exhibit, there are videos shown from a projector screen taken in different fashion runways in Los Angeles; Milan; New York; and Paris fashion shows. These shows happened in early 1980s and 1990s, and it is quite astonishing that Phoenix Art Museum has a full wing depicting Geoffrey Beene's incredible fashion intelligence. Geoffrey Beene LLC is owned by Authentic Brands Group, an elite fashion/entertainment marketing company. In addition, the Phoenix Art Museum has an exhibit devoted to Impressionism through an impressive European collection. Monet; Renoir; and Pierre Auguste are some of the talented artists that have picturesque paintings in one of Rahulio's favorite rooms of the Phoenix Art Museum. Thorne rooms show a mind blowing small, miniature room with a dining room and living quarters. This area was one for me to experience, and it made me enjoy my childhood friends homes in the best way possible in Los Angeles; Phoenix; and San Francisco. Frida Kahlo has an exhibit area in the Phoenix Art Museum, since her El suicidio de Dorothy Hale (The Suicide of Dorothy Hale) painting from 1939 is in a beautiful artistic space. In this penultimate paragraph, Ullman Center for the Art of Philip C. Curtis is on display. G. Ripley had the good fortune of seeing the Philip Curtis exhibit, as one of his last stops in this incredible, monolithic museum. If you have the chance to go to Phoenix art museum, the red dinosaur trapped in a red cage is the first abstract art for any human to witness. Phoenix Art Museum became my place to explore for 70 minutes, on a hot day in downtown Phoenix. Thank god the price of admission was zero pennies, and zero dollars in any spender's mind. In closing, the last place for Greenleaf Ripley to eat food and drink libations was Throne Brewing Company. This Brewing company and grill is known for pizza; exquisite pretzel bun meaty sandwiches; and good gin/rum/whiskey. Without the alcohol and good food, Rahulio's art decorating and fun museum visits are not completed. Rahul leaves you with the witty cliche of 'all ends well with a good day of art; food; libations; and fun bartender females to spend time with.' Happy July 2; July 3; and Independence Day (July 4) for all US citizens across the domestic and conterminous United States!
