To help me at my Sotheby's interview, my old lecturer (who used to work at Christie's) recommended that I visit some temporary exhibitions to gain some knowledge, just in case the interviewer quizzes me on what I have seen recently. I popped into London today and went into the Royal Academy to see the Van Gogh letter exhibition there. Unfortunately, because it's half term, the queue was at least two and a half hours long so I decided to give it a miss and headed over to the Tate Modern. Got off the Tube at London Bridge and had a lovely walk through Borough Market in Southwark - they sell so much amazing food, including winter barbecues with hot cider. YUM. If only I had available funds for such treats! The Arshile Gorky exhibition was very good, showing a clear progression of his work from a young man to his later life. He had a very sad life and this is definately reflected in his art. Lovely day out. I don't think London will ever lose its magic for me.....
