Pushing Paper exhibition

The British Museum's free exhibition of contemporary drawings (since 1970) is on till 12 January, after which it will tour to The Oriental Museum in Durham, the Pier Arts Centre in Stromness, the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea and the Cooper Gallery in Barnsley.

I've seen only half, because of "reading everything" and taking notes and looking hard and going round twice, and will go back soon to see the rest. A catalogue is available, apparently!

Here are some of those I found most interesting. (Click on the images to read the writing.) The lines are due to the (strobe?!) lighting in the room. Go see it in person if you can.

Overview (perhaps "overglimpse" is more accurate) - with drawings by Bridget Riley, Anish Kapoor, Kenneth Martin, Minjung Kim -
