We didn't like it all...and why would you?
But, we liked a lot!
Cathedral tower
The Thief by David Mach
Collateral..artist?
A bit of traditional sculpture
Effigy of Robert Duke of Normandy, the eldest son of William the Conquerer
Fallen Angel by Damian Hirst
The High Altar
Vesqua by W Pye
Anatomy of an Angel (Black) by Damian Hirst
Damian's Hirst's Anatomy of an Angel again.
We spent just over an hour having a wander about but I will definitely be going back for another look as we pass through Gloucester on our way north.
Street musicians in costume...the Town Crier was also with them at the Farmers market held every Friday.
We bought some goats cheese and sausages, had a coffee and headed back to the boat, all cultured our for now..
I'm not a huge modern sculpture fan but these look worth having a look at especially like the way they are being displayed - the juxtaposition of modern and old sculpture.
ReplyDeleteAmanda the Abbey was a fantastic back drop for the exhibition and I imagine that the additional visitor numbers helped the Abbey finances. I went back for a second visit and spent a 'quiet' half an hour listening to the organ being played, very impressive.

Wonderful pics! We aren't much for modern art but as you say,some things are truly beautiful and riveting such as Hirst's angels. We hope to get to Gloucester some day--looks like a treat!
ReplyDeleteTake care,

Hi Jaq
DeleteWe loved the G&S and I am sure you and Les will too, you've just got to whip the NHS into shape and get Les sorted and fit for the trip. The exhibition was intriguing and the setting was ideal.
best wishes for the next haul..
