The Carnegie International gallery is an experience that I will never forget. Each of the pieces that I was able to see had a different meaning to me and to each of my peers. The pieces there were both amazing and showed that this is a very respectable art exhibit. Ann Hamilton's welle is a piece of artwork that I will never forget. It is a wall that has tears running down it. The tears are so faint that I walked by it three times without even knowing what it was. 

The one artist that caught my eye the most and was my personal favorite was Takashi Murakami sculpture of modern day Anime. I love Anime and I've never seen an Anime that was made into a life size sculpture. I have been to many art shows and the Carnegie International's gallery is well worth the trip and is a personal favorite to me and everyone who has also seen it.
