(no subject)
hello Dearies!!
So i started my internship at the Weatherspoon on Monday and it is so exciting! For those other art fanatics out there yall should totally be jealous of me. Ha ha im so conceded (im sorry!)! I basically have the job of doing random shit around the registrar's office like filing files and other random shit like that. It KICKS ASS!
For instance, today i was refiling some stuff and i found an article about a De Kooning painting that the museum has. Apparently, a curator bought the piece for the museum in the 1960's for all of 1,800 dollars. When the guy bought the painting, it was supposed to be in honor of a woman who had recently died. To say the least, the family as well as the other patrons were so pissed at this guy buying such an "ugly painting". Granted, the painting is an abstract expressionest painting depicting a naked woman with her legs spread, her head tilted back, and exaggerated boobs. Ha ha! -They were so pissed! (afterall, it was supposed to honor a woman who had just died) Anyways though, it turns out that now the painting is worth over 15 million dollars!!! Ha ha- and thats an estimate from 1995! Oh how the times change.
And yesterday, i was sitting in a room by myself with a small bronze Matisse did. Oh yes, i just about wanted to scream with joy. It was only about 3" high, and i couldnt actually see it b/c it was packaged up but, nonetheless... EEEKKKKKK!!!! Apparently the thing was worth about 1 million or so. Ha ha ha AWESOME!
Im so scared that im going to fuck something up though. Like drop something major. I dont think i could live with myself if i hurt a De Kooning or Matisse. Oh yes... the pressure is on seeing as i tend to be a huge klutz.
In other random news, my dear friend Erin, from back home, went to Senegal for a 2 month stay on Monday. She brought 2 suitcases, one for necessities like clothes and stuff, and the second b/c she was old to bring something to give to people. Well, the second suitcase was full of toothbrushes, 170 to be exact. Anyways, she tried to get through customs with the toothbrushes and they would not let her keep her suitcase b/c they believed she was trying to sell them or some crazy shit like that. Ha ha! Thats hilarious!!! Maybe im the only one really laughing at this, but my friend Erin is such a goofball (but i love her dearly!) and of course this would happen to her. She has the worst luck i have ever seen, but she just rolls with it. I adore her!!
