This weekend I have visited two very different but stimulating exhibitions in London. I feel my tweets from those sum up my thoughts rather nicely so, in the spirit of new media, I shall limit this post to those:
Quick duck into Pace London for Rothko/Sugimoto: Dark paintings and Seascapes. Must remember not to paint slogans on the works

Press release for @PaceGallery London says the Rothkos and Sugimotos "commune". So apt, what a beautiful exhibition

But what I love is how the smooth glossy Sugimotos make the subtle texture and tone of the Rothkos all the more striking @PaceGallery

Exhibitions @MuseumofLondon are always stylish but Doctors, Dissection & Resurrection men is a triumph. Evocative, informative and visual

Not so sure about 'Pollock in the dissecting room' wall effects but loved the film of mock posters for Burking trials @MuseumofLondon show
