Notes
Gorgeous
A visit to the main public art gallery in Sheffield, England. and the first thing you see is the Rakaia Gorge.
Notes
Naughty boys
Visiting places depicted in the works in the Gallery's collection can be very rewarding, but on this occasion the reality thoroughly undid the artist's efforts.
Notes
Supermarket of art
The new branch of the Louvre opened in December 2012 in the depressed, and I'm sorry to say depressing, former mining town of Lens in northern France. Tate Liverpool, Guggenheim Bilbao, and now Louvre Lens: industrial towns all in chronic decline given new life by art.
Notes
Selby Abbey
Another Yorkshire landmark is the magnificent abbey at Selby, and the comparison between our print and a modern photo is revealing.
