The Niki in the Garden exhibit at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens is definitely worth the trouble for Atlanta guests and residents. Was really impressed with it during our visit yesterday. This is detail from her sculpture called Miles Davis.
Ravenna
Notice the beautiful patterns on the ceiling. A circular, flower-like design and a colourful maze-like edge.
Mosaic detail - Ravenna
When looking at the large images it's easy to forget how much work goes into every detail.

Not sure how big this is but it is just exquisite... Glass Museum in Corning New York.
Casa Batllo
Antoni Gaudí 1904-1906
This is one of the most charismatic examples of Modernist art in the Eixample district. The architect Antoni Gaudí personally designed the whole building, from the astonishing façade to the interior decoration, including the furnishings. The front of the building is covered in mosaic tiles and the roofing is made of ceramic tiles.

Green Woman
HER SPIRIT moves wind chimes
When air is still
And fills the rooms
With fragrance of Lily
Her eyes blue green
Still seen
Perfectly happy
With Nothing
Her spirit talks to me
Through animals
Beautiful creature
Lay with me
Bird that calls my name
Insists that she is here
And nothing
Left to fear
Bright white squirrel
Foot of tree
Fixes me
With innocent gaze
HER SPIRIT TALKS TO ME (By Paul McCartney)

The surprisingly pretty and colourful fountain in front of the art gallery in Vancouver BC
Vancouver Art Gallery fountain
One day it would be nice to see this thing actually running water like a fountain should. Still, it's quite pretty.
