  1. Cyfford Still: Ph means “photograph”. The Ph numbers are his own photographic record of the painting. The numbers do not accord with the chronology of the paintings.

    Source: “Clyfford Still – Catalogue of exhibition of 79 paintings” (Introduction by Still. Published by Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1979)

  2. I mentioned a New Zealand artist (but misremembered her name!) at the 30th Sept session. It’s Gretchen Albrecht, and here’s an example of her work (which is in the wonderful Te Papa collection in Wellington NZ): http://collections.tepapa.govt.nz/APICollection/media/23753/640
    I recommend NZ for a glimpse into how new art has developed in a more isolated country – particularly interesting is Colin McCahon. The book “How to look at a painting” by Justin Paton (who used to be curator at Christchurch Art Gallery before the earthquake and is now, sadly, in Australia) is a brilliant sideways look at viewing art and a good basic introduction to the work of some NZ artists (including Albrecht).

    • Good information on Grechen Albrecht. Will have to check out Juston Paton’s work. I will have look out for Colin McCahon, interesting website.

  3. I also mentioned a couple of galleries near Lisbon, and a couple of people said they were going there. I absolutely can’t recommend highly enough the Berardo (in Belem,ten minutes by train) for an overview of international art from 1900 to the present day: http://en.museuberardo.pt/collection
    The Gulbenkian Museum has some interesting stuff (including, amazingly, Frans Hals, Rubens, Rembrandt, Gainsborough, Turner Burne-Jones, Millet, Manet, Dégas, Renoir and Monet and many more). Sadly, the CAM (Museum of Modern Art) was rather uninspired when I was there in 2013. Incidentally, watch out for (often free) events at the Palazio Foz in the middle of Lisbon – wonderful things in an stunning old building: http://www.gmcs.pt/palaciofoz/pt/programacao-cultural/

    • I reckon you could do it for about £175 all in including AirB&B for nearly three full days in Lisbon. In fact, while my wife is away for October, I might myself….if work doesn’t interven!

      • Not very good for the environment though – but train from London to Lisbon takes a minimum of 24 hours each way so by the time you’ve added Hereford to London and back you’ve used your three days!
