West through Burgess Park, Lambeth Bridge, Battersea Park to Wandsworth recycling depot. Bacon sandwich, then back east to Chelsea bridge, through Victoria arriving at Gagosian on Grosvenor Hill. Then run to Ibid Gallery, Rodeo Gallery, Sadie Coles HQ and back South over Lambeth Bridge. To Greengrassi, Corvi Mora and South London Gallery. Picked up a postcard artwork there and returned it to the artist’s gallery.

Lambeth Bridge, St James Park, Green Park, Hyde Park and The Serpentine Gallery to see Alex Katz and Etel Adnan. East to Ibid, Alison Jacques Gallery and Rodeo Gallery. Frith Street, then further East to Stewart Shave and Gagosian. Regent’s Canal and South over Tower Bridge.

221 Alex Katz of Timothy Taylor showing at the Serpentine Gallery. This wide portrait is of his wife Ada Katz.

222 Christopher Orr at Ibid. Light projections and stacks of books at his studio, we are told, help free up the imagination in the work.

223 Etel Adnan of White Cube showing here at Serpentine Gallery. Beautiful bumpy landscapes.

224 Lygia Clark at Alison Jacques Gallery. This is the first design for her famous folding aluminium pieces. They represent animals or critters. This was a crab.
