Having seen pieces of Damian Hirst's work at different times, I was interested to see such a large collection at Tate Modern on Friday 20th April.
My overriding feeling is that he is a great showman, marketeer and technician. The brand that is Damian Hirst is clearly successful and draws the crowds, which then enables the work of other artists in the gallery to have a viewing they would otherwise not get. After that experience a pleasant evening spent at the Dock Cafe off Portobello road rounded off the day.
Tuesday 24th April, I will be doing a portrait day at a local school in Hertfordshire which I aways enjoy as the children are so enthusiastic.
I am also looking forward to going to the Decorative Antiques and Art fair at Battersea later this week and the Claude/Turner exhibition next week.
