Mon 16th Nov: MUSIC




This time last week I headed down to the opening of the Destroy exhibition at Phillips De Pury...............which resulted in a double bonus as I discovered the secondary current exhibition there............MUSIC..........which is a massive collection of contemporary art, design, editions, photographs and memorabilia from the music industry.  The first piece hanging is a Warhol rainbow screen print portrait of Michael Jackson!  It gets better and better, jam packed with goodies by (in no particular order!)...........Helmut Newton, David Lachapelle, Keith Haring, Kenny Scharf, Peter Blake, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Mick Rock, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Bob Dylan..................Here is a Warhol Polaroid of Grace with Keith Haring makeup (AMAZING!) and the Bernhard Willhelm couture dress for Bjork's Volta tour.......
The auction is on Saturday so get down there to view it all before it goes at the weekend........Matthew Herbert is creating a unique soundtrack for the sale which is apparently the first ever auction to be conducted with live music?!.............
