Some recent exhibitions

A sunny day in January, perfect for getting out and seeing something

A list of things seen, mostly just before the shows closed, in no particular order, with clickable links for the curious or procrastinatory (the links often contain short videos).

Panorama, drawings at the Courtauld; also Soaring Flight: Peter Lanyon's Gliding Paintings ("the extraordinary interior life of the sky").
