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.
Alex Katz of Timothy Taylor showing at the Serpentine Gallery. This wide portrait is of his wife Ada Katz.
Christopher Orr at Ibid. Light projections and stacks of books at his studio, we are told, help free up the imagination in the work.
Etel Adnan of White Cube showing here at Serpentine Gallery. Beautiful bumpy landscapes.
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.
Massimo Bartolini uses a rotating projector at Frith Street Gallery along with a soundtrack and bright red neon sign.
Christodoulos Panayiotou at Rodeo Gallery uses light in this piece overlooking busy Charing Cross road.
Walter de Maria at Gagosian.
Torey Thornton at Stuart Shave Modern Art. Childlike imagery is striking.
Great imagery on the Hertford Union Canal on the way to Brick Lane.
The Hertford Union Canal gives a good access route to Brick Lane.
At Beigel Bake on Brick Lane.
Approach to Lisson Gallery from the Regent’s Canal.
Susan Hiller at Lisson Gallery.
Gordon Matta-Clark in the Maisons Fragiles group show at Hauser and Wirth gallery.
Fabio Mauri’s installation at Hauser and Wirth. You don’t want to walk into the space at first. These are wax models but you don’t know if there are living people amongst them.
John Hoyland’s painting at Pace London looks hot! A forged steel support in the gallery is in the foreground. During a previous show by Yto Barrada where ornate carpets were laid on the floor, the same columns looked like the supports of a mosque.
Luisa Lambri at Thomas Dane gallery. She photographed Lygia Clark’s hinged metal-plate artwork. It was interactive in it’s day and gallery visitors could shape it.
