One of the perks of working in a world-class museum is the chance to be surrounded by incredible works of art. Since my office is not in a gallery, I choose to keep reminders of our amazing collection on my cubicle walls and of course, on my computer desktop.
This picture contains several of my favorite pieces in our contemporary collection installed in the Bloch Building. The work that looks like giant pieces of colorful Play Doh is Six Secret Spaces by Anish Kapoor. On the wall behind it is Elizabeth Murray's Art Part which always makes me think of a giant jigsaw puzzle.
These works and many other contemporary favorites will soon be on view for the public. The Bloch Building opens June 9.

This reminds me of my first day on the job here at the Museum. After all the introductions and meetings my boss came to my desk and, with a very serious face said, "David, there's one more thing. You have to go upstairs and look at the art. Seriously, it's why we're here." I still hardly think of this as coming to work. I get to hang out with all these objects from brilliant, creative minds from around the world. Having as my primary task connecting the public to the art , this fantastic opportunity to hang out and converse with these things is what I wish I could share with everyone in the city.
