Having had a pretty hectic week it's nice to toddle off to an evening showing of the current exhibition at Tate Modern.Now, what is art? The never ending question in modern art, and one which I'm not going to solve now. All I will say is that the famous Duchamp Fountain (a urinal on its back) is not art - if it were it makes B&Q and Wickes wonderful chains of accessible art galleries.
However, at this exhibtion in amongst all the emperor's new clothes there are some wonderful items - particularly the impressionist pieces in room 3 and some of the Man Ray photography.
If you like modern art - and lots do as this was the busiest evening viewing I'd ever been to at Tate Modern - then you'll like this. If not, this exhibition will just annoy rather than convert you.
