LACMA

There are two Ardabil Carpets that were first walked on in a mosque in Iran. One is on display at the museum. These carpets have an inscription and signature done by a Persian poet. It reads: I have no refuge in the world other than thy threshold. There is no protection for my head other than this door. The work of the slave of the threshold Maqsud of Kashan in the year 946. These rugs have been replicated many years for being the most entriquet of rugs designed. It is estimated to be 500 years old.
In October of 2007 Back Seat Dodge 38 was installed in the Los Angelos Art museum. The display is of the artist and his date making out in the back of a car with the headlights turned on. They are drinking beer and having a good time. The boy is made of chicken wire lying on top of a plaster casting of his girlfriend up at a necker’s spot on Mulholland Drive. Kienholz created the sculpture in 1964 and sold it to the museum in 1981.
Tim Burton  is coming to LA in may. I really love him. I love his way of thinking. Its really dark and twisted. I love Corpses Bride, Nightmare Before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland, and Edward Scissorhand the most. I am a huge fan and plan on going in May to see his gallery. He is a producer and the artist of a book called "The art of Tim Burton" released in 2009. I would like to buy the book. His characters are so cool.
