I'm afraid the posts are, to some extent, opinion pieces. But as I was saying to a friend only the other night, there are a dozen artists who were doing what he was doing who are just as good, if not better. Arabella Rankin and Isabel de B Lockyer come to mind.<br /><br />The Graves have put on good shows without a catalogue before. Thomas Lowinsky was one but at least they had the Tate's little book for sale. Why go ahead if they can't find funding for a catalogue? What is the point when so many people can't get up to Sheffield? <br /><br />I have been amazed by the number of page views this post has had, no doubt down to the Guardain, which I missed.<br />Alot has been missed, though, but some of it is here.
