Went to visit the Neue Staatsgaleie here in Stuttgart last week, a building designed by James Stirling ('ein Englischer') in the early 80s. Plating with its sandstone cladding, it also has a bit of fun with its oversized handrails, and colourful entrance. The central courtyard acts as a pinwheel to the rest of the building, with views across it from certain points within.
I knew there'd be a bit of Picasso inside, but what I found was a wealth of paintings by kick-ass artists: Feininger, Moholy-Nagy, Baumeister, Kandinsky, Lichtenstein, Mondrian, Miro, Dali, Leger, Kirchner, and Albers
And it was free in! Lovely!
