Holy Cow - Bank of America art collection (Hearst Tower)
This body of work is housed in a small gallery (to the left when you walk in) at the base of the court yard of the Hearst Tower. Currently showing the body of work titled "Holy Cow" is comprises of great imagery from some of the worlds greatest photographers beginning from the 1800s into modern times (it still amazes me how much great art Bank of America actually owns....or I think they own).
I did a review on the Light Factory last year here as it was displaying Ansel Adams works, again another Bank of America collection, so as much as folks want to hate banks, they are doing society a great service my making this work available to the public when it could be hidden away in personal collections forever and never to be enjoyed by you and me.
Holy cow has some great imagery of dogs, cats, cows, and even a few monkeys.....just great fun to look at and enjoy. If you work in the city it is a nice little way to spend a lunch as the galler is small and the viewing won't take much time at all, though keep in mind, no food or drink in this particular location, though they do have 1 couch you can sit on to better comtemplate art as a whole.
Bank of America has several small galleries in the city in addition to several other cities across the country. This is a great little gallery and tucked away from the main stream traffic...when I was there it was like my own private gallery. A nice little bit of art you should check out.....I'm a photographer and I approved this message *wink*. read more
