So sad that it seems to be the norm now, to display all the modern crap masquerading as art for all to see, whilst dismissing most of the REAL art as so yesterday, so passé darling. Your 'new' Perth Art Gallery sounds like most of our big city Galleries, ie., run by the arty twats in the City Council who know bugger all about art!Peter Barkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13848150312276735773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-21384666682119175482012-01-21T15:07:13.349+00:002012-01-21T15:07:13.349+00:00I used to walk around the "new" Perth Ar...I used to walk around the "new" Perth Art Gallery (Western Australia) in less than ten minutes. There were usually just two paintings, at most, that would stop me.<br /><br />Then I'd wander down to the older gallery where they've hidden away the historical Australian masterpieces (there was a tiny sign "behind" a staircase alerting people to the gallery's existence). I'd spend hours in there.<br /><br />Upon leaving, I would always drop a note in the comment box "thanking" the curators for hiding the good stuff away from the prying eyes of the unwashed masses - and tourists! <br /><br />Unfortunately it seems they don't get sarcasm, because the situation never changed.Andynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4677250049321737951.post-29547821326338388022011-07-13T11:15:29.322+01:002011-07-13T11:15:29.322+01:00Harley B rocks big time!
