More about the Berlin weekend....
It is Christmas time and you don't want a long text and I don't want to write one.....
Instead I will show you my Weekend Photo Diary......
I arrived in Berlin just in time for the opening of the Zaha Hadid exhibition at the Aedes East Gallery. The ICA Touring Exhibition focuses on three museums that have won Zaha Hadid the First Prize in International competitions; The Cincinnati Contemporary Art and Architecture Center, The Center for Contemporary Art and Architecture in Rome and the Science Center in Wolfsburg, Germany.
The exhibition shows what an experimental and risk-taking architect Zaha Hadid is and that she still lives up to her title as
"The reigning queen of the avant garde architecture" ....

The next day was all fun.... went to see the exhibition "After the Wall" at Hamburger Bahnhof, lunched with Zvi Hecker, Peter and Ya'el Cook and dined and danced at the Aedes 20th Anniversary Ball... Following are snapshot of some of the many people who were there.... and a lot of Zvi Hecker who, whenever he saw me ready to snap, walked right into the picture. Every story needs a protagonist!

The Dinner
Late Sunday morning, before leaving Berlin, I dropped by to see the new Mexican Embassy designed by J.Francesco Serrano
