touringjeff

Rounding out the non-stop month of April was a visit from my friend Jeff from the States. It was his first visit to -- as opposed to through -- London. We walked lots. Highlights of the weekend included Borough Market where Jeff said give him a corner and a cot and he'd move in.

We also covered the Tate Modern and the Tate Britain. At the Modern, we cruised through almost the entire museum including the DuChamp, ManRay, Picabia exhibit, the Juan Munoz exhibit and the Rothko Material Gestures (also known as the Seagram's paintings) which I had really wanted to share with him. It was great to catch the Munoz as it was the last weekend and I hadn't gotten there yet. At the Britain we focused on the Turner paintings. I'm looking forward to going back and spending some time getting know his works better.
