2012: Boros Collection #2

And that is the collection that I saw with my friend. All of the art was fascinating and so many pieces played with all of the senses. There was a never-ending popcorn machine, a wax Mickey Mouse pointing to a book of Nietzsche, a man-made tree by Ai Weiwei, a symbolic clock with no hands, some awesome 90's photography and much much more. ...Only in Berlin
