Magical birthday encounter
<p>When we walked up to the ticket desk at the Picasso Museum in Paris, the attendant warned us that there were no paintings by Picasso on view in the museum at this time.</p>
<p>She asked, “Do you still want a ticket?”</p>
<p>HELL OUI!” I replied.</p>
<p>I’d come to the museum specifically to see one of my very favorite artists in the world, Sophia Calle. She’d emptied the museum of all works by Picasso and replaced all four floors with her own work. She also recreated her apartment in the museum be emptying her own home filled with art, letters, taxidermy animals, relics, tchotchkes, and assorted other novelties. Only a total bad ass artist like Sophie Calle could replace Picasso’s art in a museum dedicated to Picasso with her own works to commemorate the worldwide 100th anniversary of his death.</p>
