    Today just so happens to be International Duran Duran Appreciation Day (we’re not sure why, but the Internet seems to agree)! To celebrate, we’re taking a look at American artist Patrick Nagel’s cover art for the band’s Rio album, pictured here.

    I like how institutions such as SFMOMA and TATE are responding to Tumblr posts by clicking “♥” and reblogging. It gives a nice human presence. Or do those blogs just have code which recognises tags and automatically actions on them? I hope it’s the latter!

“Kent, our Exhibition Design Manager (far right), remembers installing “Intermission” the last time it appeared on our walls as part of Hopper’s third Whitney retrospective, which traveled to SFMOMA in 1982! — at SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art).” [From March 23, 2012]

This photo is from when Hopper’s “Intermission,” an exciting recent acquisition, was installed for the first time as a part of SFMOMA’s permanent collection. #bigmoment
