Eleven Days and Counting

In less than 2 weeks, we will be departing for our own GrandTour of the art happenings in summer 2007. Tickets, hotels, etc. have been arranged. Now the fun begins.

Art Basel is our first stop. I'm not sure what to expect, but if it is anything like Art Basel Miami, we are in for huge crowds. We don't plan to buy anything, but then you never know. We will fly into Zurich and stay there as well. We plan to make our way by train between the two cities.

Documenta 12 is next on our list. We hope to drive there from Frankfurt. While in Kassel, Germany, we will also visit the other sights, including the birthplace of the Grimm brothers.

Munster Skulptur Project is our third place. A train ride takes about 2 hours, but we will go by car.

Venice Biennale is our last stop on this tour. Flying from Frankfurt, we will reach Venice and stay near the Accademia Bridge.http://www.grandtour2007.com/ should provide an overview.

Hi Marilyn,
A belated thank you for the fabulous Chicago trip. We all thuroughly enjoyed everything that you planned. It as a "ten" - a perfect excursion.

Your grand tour sounds too wonderful. I look forward to seeing some of your photos and hearing about your experience so first hand. Thanks for setting this up for us to vicariously participate in your art journey.

Sending you best wishes for a great tour. Andrea
