Last art exhibition you visited?

[mikeweil]

Had an opportunity to visit this excellently conceived exhibition on the influence of Charles Baudelaire's poems in "Les Fleur Du Mal" during a weekend trip to Berlin.

That museum's collection is worth a visit. Best collection of surrealism related art ever. Almost ten Odilon Redon works, Piranesi's Carceri, Goya's Caprichos, Ernst, Bellmer, Max Klinger - I try to go there whenever I am in Berlin.

"Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers" at the National Gallery, London in January. An impressive exhibition of his work.

Missed it, had a ticket but was unwell on the day. From that photo it doesn't look too crowded which is what I feared

The Rock and Roll Public Library. Central London. Basically the contents of Mick Jones of the Clash’s lock up or garage. Hand written lyrics, old clothes, fanzines and flyers from the 70s. Interesting if you’re an old punk!

It was fairly crowded, but the galleries were big enough to accommodate everyone

Damn, missed it!

Not an old punk, just old and would have loved to have seen this nostalgia rush.

Was a strange one, not a lot of information as to what was on display but anyone who saw the Clash in ‘77 or ‘78 would recognise this!

Noah Davis at the Barbican Art Gallery

My introduction to Davis although I feel I may have seen his work in group shows. Very thoughtfully curated, some outstanding paintings and a very sad story.

Picasso at CMA through April. We're members, so we went twice, mostly pencil, the feature of the show. Although they peppered other masterpieces in there that CMA already acquisitioned, it really was a great showcase. Great space, great exhibition. I'd upload some pictures I took, but I have to format them to post here.

I saw a similar show in London a few years ago, it too was really good

Takashi Murakami. Me and my wife just went to his exhibition at CMA, a few weeks ago. Wow. You like modern Japanese art meets Pokémon, you're in for a treat! Truly, one of the coolest and most unique exhibits I've ever seen. Dude was there, but didn't get to meet him.
