Big ears

Was lending an ear during a docent tour of the Paul Thek survey exhibition at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.

“The artist wants you to bend down and get real close to the work, see the detail, feel the texture.”
“Can we touch it?”
“No.”

“Is this the Wednesday group?”
“No, it’s Tuesday.”

“If you look at the painting real close you can see much more than if you don’t.”

“There’s three more rooms to go.”
“Oh…”

“What does pink mean?”
