Modern Art at Versailles

I have just discovered that when we visit Versailles, we will be treated to the modern art of Bernar Venet's les arcs de métal. Some folks enjoy seeing his rusted, oxidized metal arches contrasted against the blue sky and green gardens of Versailles. Others say such modernity has no place at Versailles. Either way...Venet's sculptures are there to stay until November 1, 2011, which means we will get to see them up close in a few weeks! For a preview, click HERE to check out a YouTube video of the controversial artwork and decide for yourself - eye candy or eye sore??? Tell me what you think - vote in the poll posted to the right!
