December 4, 2009

I confess that I discovered by accident that pop artist Andy Warhol made a collection of Christmas artworks, depicting a Christmas sled with presents, Christmas Wreaths, a Christmas Tree, Christmas ornaments, as well as Christmas card designs. He made most of these in the time that he was still a commercial graphic artist, in the late ’50s. And while they can be seen as an extension of that... Read more »

February 28, 2009
Jackie Wullschlager at FT.com, in its section on art collecting, offers a landmark article ‘An Art Dealer’s Gift to the British’: “At a rowdy Gilbert and George opening in the mid-1970s, the two artists known as the “living sculptures” dared Anthony d’Offay, a shy, fusty dealer in English art, to kiss Anne Seymour, then one of Tate’s most brilliant young curators. Thirty years later, Anne and Anthony d’Offay’s unparalleled international collection of modern and contemporary art is about to go public in a series of 20 exhibitions to be staged up and down Britain,...

Koons in Versailles 2008
September 10, 2008
Both enthralled and appalled by the Jeff Koons exhibition in Versailles, one of the world’s most refined palaces today, I needed a long but leisurely stroll in the extended gardens of this glorious monument of art and artifacts of French style of the highest quality caliber, to allow me to reflect on it all. Self-confessed, I love walking through old places and imagining me ‘there’, at another time. Versailles is an amazingly wonderful location to be transported into another world and to glance into the lives of a King and his Queen. It is for this reason that, after my... Read more »

November 1, 2007
