List
It occurred to the folks at the Frist Center that some Nashvillians might be a little art-phobic. For this reason, the museum took great strides to assemble a permanent collection that would make those of us who are less cosmopolitan feel right at home. They even renamed some classic works so as to seem more familiar. Here are some of the highlights:
♦ “Thankin’ ” by Rodin, 1889
♦ “Shania de Milo” by a sculptor of Antioch, ca. 150 B.C.
♦ “Madonna With the Long Midriff” by Parmigianino, 1535
♦ “Varallo’s Chili Cans” by Andy Warhol, 1962
♦ “Cubed Train Shed” by John Chamberlain, 2001
