The first cut is the deepest

Article Abstract:

The Hayward Gallery in London, England, is staging an exhibition of the work of artist Lucio Fontana, who died in 1968. He began his career as a sculptor, and his first distinctive works are a series of semi-figurative clay pieces produced in the late 1930s and late 1940s. In the 1950s and 1960s, he produced a series of works made up of blank or single-coloured canvases with a slit cut in the centre of them. These works are very pure and ethereal.

All mouth and no trousers

Article Abstract:

The annual Turner Prize exhibition is usually good, but this is not the case with the 1999 exhibition, held at the Tate Gallery in London, England. The 1999 exhibition is very dull. The works of Steve McQueen seem to be very classically boring video art, while the images in Steven Pippin's series of photographs entitled 'Laundromat-Locomotion' are not very interesting to look at. The other exhibitors are Jane and Louise Wilson and Tracey Emin.

1999 AD, Turner Prize (Art)
