That is it! I am finished with The Summer Exhibition.
WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!
I remember back in the mid 1980’s when my father bemoaned the lack of quality of said exhibition and going just after I had finished my A levels. He wasn’t impressed. The only thing I remember about it was that someone had made a big mooosehead out of planks of wood. If it was you, please congratulate yourself on being a great inspiration to my early art career.
I have attended intermittently ever since. The past few years with small children (including the year my naughty daugter spent the entire vist pinching all the red dots that show what has sold) and it has become a bit of a family event with great shriekings over inflated pricings of dodgy work with the much argued over catalogues (they only give them out to adults and over 12 tickets – much to my 10 year old son’s horror).
Every year there has been some rubbish yes, but not to the scary extent of this year. A couple of interesting ideas – pegs are big this year. I was going to list more – but frankly I can’t really remember much else – all a bit of a mush.
Oh Summer Exhibition 2012 – where is your mooosehead?
