London: Summer in the City – The Hottest Shows
What’s hot this summer in London’s culture and theatre scene. A dozen of the very hottest shows.
Christian Dior – The Love of Couture
Christian Dior – his very name conjures up images of elegance, style and beautiful clothes. This was a man who was a giant of French couture whose clothes were renowned for being jaw droppingly gorgeous, but beyond most people’s means. That’s not to say we shouldn’t admire them, […]
Jupiter Artland – Edinburgh’s Landscape Art
Have you ever discovered something so weird and wonderful on your travels that you’ve had to pinch yourself? Jupiter Artland is a great destination which I found completely by accident. It’s a fantastic and unexpected place, full of surprises and strange discoveries. Jupiter has a dream-like quality – […]
Denmark – Holiday Heaven for Art Lovers
Looking to travel somewhere bursting with awesome art? My advice is you can’t go wrong with a holiday or short break in Denmark. Not only is Denmark just a short hop from the UK, it’s an art lover’s paradise with a ‘gluttony’ of galleries, museums and attractions. Copenhagen isn’t the only cultural […]
Gavin Turk – Who, What, When, Where, How and Why – London
Gavin Turk is infamous for being one of the Brat Pack of Young British Artists. It’s no surprise that his first major solo show in more than a decade is wonderfully anarchic. The maverick artist’s back catalogue fills Damien Hirst’s splendid, new London art palace hidden away in the back streets of […]
Ai Weiwei – China’s artistic giant @ The Royal Academy London
Ai Weiwei’s name is on everyone’s lips these days. Artist, agent provocateur and political prisoner, he is rarely out of the news around the world. He shot the fame in Britain after his sunflower seeds installation in Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall in 2010. Since then he’s received worldwide acclaim and […]
New York City’s Changing Skyline
New York’s famous skyline is changing as a new breed of skyscrapers springs up across Manhattan. I discovered towering luxury apartments designed for the super-rich are booming when I visited the city last month. ‘Super high rise’ properties selling for more than £64 million are common. This is New York for […]
Alexander McQueen – Savage Beauty in London
Fashion is red-hot in London this summer as the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition takes centre-stage at the Victoria and Albert Museum. This blockbuster show had crowds queuing around the block when it previewed in New York in 2011 but now it’s here in the UK – and it’s […]
Kettle’s Yard – Art Lover’s House
Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge is a house I keep on going back to. It boasts a beautiful interior, crammed with stunning art works collected by its original owner, Jim Ede. If I had to list my top 10 dream homes, this would be one of them. It isn’t grandiose but there’s something […]
Brussels – Art Nouveau masterpieces
Brussels is one of the world’s best cities for Art Nouveau, one of my favourite styles of architecture and design. I adore its decorative, floral curves and stylish swirls. For art lovers, an Art Nouveau tour of Brussels is a fabulous experience with hundreds of impressive buildings to discover. The city […]
