Pop Life!

Not the Prince tune, the exhibition at the Tate Modern that opened last week. I was lucky enough to get an invite to the Private View, and got there before the crowds arrived. It was really comprehensive in that it had a bit of something by everyone - apart that is, from Richard Prince, his picture of a naked 10 year old Brooke Shields had been removed on 'police advice' before the doors were opened - but everything else was there and available to view.

You had to be 18 or above to see Jeff Koons fucking his ex-wife in both glass and in paint, both pieces are gorgeous, tho not really erotic. I love that fact that Mr Koons has given himself a rather large penis. Now that's what I call artistic license!

There's some Hirst, Emin, Warhol, Lucas, etc etc etc. Its a one stop PopArt experience.

If you are not that sussed when it comes to this genre, then this is a brilliant introduction, I would've preferred a bit more depth, but somehow the shallowness of the show suits the subject.
