Eva Rothschild's new piece at the Tate Britain, Cold Corners, is really stunning. It was commissioned by Sotheby's and sits in the Duveens Gallery.
I loved standing in the middle and viewing it from all directions. The way such a graphic and hard structure has so easily become part of such neoclassical architecture is incredibly poignant.
I really enjoyed the Tate Britain. It was much different than the Gallery I had imagined. Home of the Tuner Prize, I expected something far more majestic than the small building off of Themes. It was nice though -- almost the anti-National Gallery which I'd been to just the day before.
Comfort in closeness. Perhaps that was the point Rothschild was trying to make.
