November 24, 2008
Pablo Picasso ’s art is found in museums in all countries around the Mediterranean sea, and around the world for that matter. However, it is an interesting fact that Picasso had always wished for his art to also be shown in his birthplace, Málaga, Spain. That wish has come true, thanks to a collaboration between Picasso’s heirs and Andalucia. It is officially called the ‘Museo Picasso Málagaas’. It is not just an ordinary museum either.

Shaman Artist Norval Morrisseau’s Delightful Mythical Aboriginal Art
November 13, 2008
It is not often that art gallery staff make my day, but John MacGregor Newman, Associate Director of Kinsman Robinson Galleries in Toronto, Canada, did just that two weekends ago. He showed me a sneak peak of the current exhibition “Norval Morrisseau: A Retrospective” which is on now until 29 November.
