Tate Modern

Sinceramente mi aspettavo qualcosa di meglio. Non regge il confronto con il british e la national gallery. Troppe istallazioni contemporanee, a volte prive di senso, e poche sale(credo 3-4)dedicate a figure come boccioni, balla, picasso, dali, kandiskj, giacometti, fontana,....i veri padri dell'arte contemporanea.insomma non si puo, secondo me, notare la grossa differenza che esiste tra questa nuova arte e quella per cosi dire un po piu tradizionale( e definire cosi il cubismo e alquanto sorprendente).

Difficult to get to. Compared to the MOMA in NY the collection is really second rate. For instance, the Miros they had were not any of the really good ones. With muddy colours, I feel sure Miro himself would not have been happy to have these on view. Very little to be seen and don't dare say anything or one of the guards will land on you as happened to my wife who, after entering a room filled with crushed silverware from a hundred garage sales, said, "This is [--]. Let's get out of here." In moments a young, serious looking man told her she had to leave the museum. She, sincerely baffled, insisted on seeing his manager. When the manager showed up she asked what was wrong and he accused her of swearing. (The Random house dictionary defines [--] as, "nonsense, lies or exaggeration.") The real BS was the pretentious poorly curated collection. My wife surprised informed him this was a commonly used phrase to describe nonsense in North America. Shocked as British TV and American run crime shows have more swearing and offensive. I say "get with the 21st century of free speech" noting the intention was not swearing.
