(sob) Now I vote on the Matthew Barney sculpture in the DMA's collection. They are very lucky to have that....too bad it's in the back. ALWAYS in the back. Ugh. “Important” – tricky word. : )

Honorable mentions FW Mondern Art building by Ando and the public art installation, Avenue of Light on Lancaster Avenue. Also the painting The Swimming Hole by Thomas Eakins owned by the Amon Carter is a personal fav. I would agree Kahn’s Kimbell.

Whether viewed from afar or in close proximity, the piece never fails to inspire, intrigue, and otherwise fascinate me.
