THE IFS , ANDS, OR BUTTS OF MODERN ART


Omigosh, it’s time for a perplexing dose of CULTURE! Some of the world’s finest modern art has been assembled for an exhibition at the Tate Gallery in London and artist Anthea Hamilton’s giant buttocks have been creating quite a stir. The story behind the art project is even more interesting. Anthea was inspired by a 1970’s proposal she saw – it was a drawing done by eccentric Italian designer Gaetano Pesce for a DOORWAY in an upper east side building in New York. (Those crazy 70’s!) Can you imagine walking through that entrance every day? Needless to say, the entryway was never built, but now the inspired sculpture is up for a Turner Prize 2016.
