Pablo Picasso's sculptures got x-rayed
I sent this news out to my friends but I forgot to send it to this list, which is probably most interesting place to share this news. French national Picasso museum in Paris started an interesting exhibiton, where x-ray and CT scan images of Picasso's sculptures, mostly from 1920 to 1950s, are shown. CT is a heavily post-processed version of x-ray image, which can provide image of a slice of the specimen rather than seeing through the entire thickness of the specimen. The artist's website: http://www.x-lucchesi.com/ He seems to have used radiographic images for other things as well... click on "expos finalisées" and then "musée rayons x" and then click on the ">" sign to see a few.
