JOHN BALDESSARI Serendipity took me to see John Baldessari at the weekend at Tate Modern. It began on Friday afternoon when I was 20 minutes early to collect my children from the child minder, due to the traffic being lighter […]
It’s three weeks after my last stint on the stairs and I’ve spent that time thinking abut what I learnt and deciding what I want to take forward. Work (the paying kind) has taken over for a while but I’m […]
A selection of articles and other content dealing with artists’ income:
I read the October contribution to Debate by Tim Joss with pleasure. Although written for a political purpose it proved one of the most cogent and positive pieces of art criticism I have read in recent years.
