good quote, I now feel justified in copying . . .
. . . er, maybe that's not quite what he meant, but it does pay the bills.
Great stuff. That last statue - a nymph of some sort - you've captured particularly well.
I'm surprised that they allow photography though.
i say copy away sprocket :)
OJ, the statue is part of an Alice in Wonderland collection. i was surprised at how freely everyone was clicking pics too. there was not a security guard in sight at any point actually.
Have you been to the Dali/film exhibition at Tate Modern? I enjoyed it muchly
I think I shall have to trip up to London now to take in this exhib, just have to make sure I don't get sidetracked – wouldn't want to dilly-Dali on the way.
heh heh heh
*sniggers to self in sad way*
oh my, Sprocket!
Jane, i haven't. i was surprised to have missed this one for so long - apparently it's been at County Hall since 2000!
I would. I'd also like to make off with a fair bit of the furniture. :D
i loved the furniture! it was amazing and completely kitsch. the gold hand in the first pic is from a beautiful loveseat.
Ooh. I thought it was a chair. A loveseat's better. It would be so unreal to have a house full of Dali furniture. Living in the surreal.
Weren't the elephants marching along the south bank a bit of a giveaway?
I asume that that's the same exhibition I went to with Helen last year - or maybe even the year before that - time flies - or should that be melts ; )
you bet Caine.
i didn't see any marching elephants. you must have been seeing things, JD ; )
If it's still on, you might enjoy the V and A's Surrealism exhibition. It's design focussed and has some great furniture. Even reconstructions of whole rooms.
Ps. Have a couple of hours to kill in Ldn tomorrow. Perhaps I'll go. Is it on South Bank. Mind gone blank. . .
it is. i think i'd like that. i'll check it out OJ.
it's on the South Bank, next to the Eye.
