I met my jolly good friend Julie [formerly Lovely Grey blogger] at Tate Modern a few days ago. We didn't have time to do all the floors [important things like the pub were calling], but during our time there we too were art critics.....art should provoke a reaction from those that view it. Some we liked some we didn't and the occasional piece I felt was in the category of 'The Emperor's New Clothes', but that of course is only my own personal opinion. What I wanted to see were artworks which made me stop and look again. These were my 10. Everybody's 10 would be different.

I visited Tate Modern about 40 years ago and I still don’t understand its art installations. Each to their own. Good to hear about Lovely Grey. I miss reading her blog although I probably didn’t comment much.
ReplyDeleteWorks of art should always make you stop and look again, if not, what's the point of them. Quite a few of intriguing pieces here. I am quite taken by # 7, Work 62-W Onada Minoru. xxx
