Day 2: Lexington (2 of 4)

Day 2: Lexington (2 of 4)

Weather: Overcast and drizzly, mid 50s

Takes us about 1.5 hours to reach Lexington and our second stop on the 21C tour. This is all about the art!

More Department of Amplification:  THB has not listed how the art was made and the vast majority are not just oil on canvas or straight photos. There is usually some underlying technique that enhances the meaning of the work. Many variations!! Some staged, some holograms, some 3D (very subtle), some different materials used to construct the work. Too vast to categorize other than "different" from what you see in person or in the blog
