As you know from the byline at the end of every Tuesday’s Permanent Collection post, I’m profiling 365 masterworks at the National Gallery of Art this year for my project Art 2010, which appears on my website Head for Art.
It may be madness to inspect and dissect so many pieces in the NGA, so let’s take moment to see the big picture — at high speed, of course! Presented above is a photograph of every single work in the East and West Buildings (except some small galleries on the main ground floor).
For the first time, I felt the full force of the collections — and the breadth of the challenge of Art 2010. And I hope it’s a good chance for all of you to explore the Gallery, top to bottom!
So there it is, around my world of art, all in under seven minutes.
