After the Marina Abramović at Saatchi Yates, we walked across the street and up some stairs into Smithson Plaza where, instead of massive land art (a different Smithson, I guess), we saw several sculptures by Charles Hadcock.

Marvel Universe?

I get to marvel at her every day!

Abramović

After the Royal Academy we found very few local galleries open on a Sunday afternoon, but Saatchi Yates was, and we say this Marina Abramović exhibition, somewhat hurriedly.

The Continuing Story Of

Kiefer / Van Gogh

In October we visited the Kiefer / Van Gogh exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Not previously familiar with more than Kiefer’s name, the work and its relationship to van Gogh was stunning. Entirely different, one can nevertheless feel how Kiefer has responded to van Gogh in every image.

“In 1963, aged 18, Anselm Kiefer received a travel bursary that allowed him to follow in Vincent van Gogh’s footsteps through the Netherlands Belgium, and France, first in Paris and ending up in Arles and the neighbouring village of Fourques in Provence. On his travels, which he termed an ‘initiation journey, Kiefer kept a daiary filled with notes and drawings.” ﹣from the exhibition guide.
