Well here we are, with just a couple of days to go folks! On Friday the curtain falls on Art 2010, but before the lights go up and everyone is ushered out of the auditorium, let’s nestle into a nostalgic glimpse back over the last 12 months. I’ve come up with my favorite fortnight’s worth of works, which I’ll roll out over the next 2 days… hope you enjoy this mini-trip down memory lane…
On the 10th of January we had a lazy morning with that yolk-yellow Rosenquist, muling over what makes up the perfect brunch menu… And on March 4th we celebrated World Book Day with a fine and fetching lady from Fragonard.
Then on April 1 we ushered in Easter with Salvador Dali’s oddball rendering of the Last Supper…
While in June (the 18th) we set our toes a’ twinkling with Leo Villareal, gliding down his glinting tunnel of LEDS in the concourse between East and West buildings:
And we stayed a while with a little Italian tike on July 7th, smiling indulgently at Titian’s Ranuccio (and wishing we could reach over to ruffle his hair).
On Aug 25 we got serious with this strapping, struggling and distressing St Bartholomew from Jusepe de Ribera…
And on September 15 we fell for fall with this glorious golden tapestry of ridged and saturated oils by Hans Hofmann.
