A review of the Summer Showcase exhibition Collecting Gauguin: Samuel Courtauld in the 1920s will appear in The Crawford Arts Review.
I feel en-lightened just looking at it through my screen. Imagine how I'd feel being there!
ReplyDeleteGoogle have changed things around so I've only just seen your comment, tut-tut.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are lucky in London, classical buildings all over the place.
Somerset House is simply enormous, 4 wings around a huge open court, with a river terrace along the south wing.
I love it, particularly the way light comes into the building - not only from the windows but as you walk down corridors. Light seems to filter in from below, from above: drawing you through the building. I think of the whole structure, now that it has been restored and filled with art organizations, as an artwork in itself.
