The Museum of Modern Art has so many iconic pieces of artwork, that my jaw hung open at every gallery.
I minored in Art History in college, and I saw these pieces as static slides projected against the classroom wall.
To stand in front of them, in real life, breathing the same air as they did...well, it was exciting and humbling.
Each of these were produced at pivotal times in the lives of the artist, and for the art world.
A few ultra special images:

Until I saw your photo I never realised all Warhol's soup cans were different flavours! It must have been wonderful to see those famous paintings for yourself.
