Leeds City Art Gallery
A famous Bonnard, hidden in a dark corner of the staircase.
A lovely leafy landscape which turned out to be an early Augustus John.
Lady Butler's "Scotland for Ever!", complemented by the sound of bagpipes from outside, which turned out, appropriately, to be recorded music for an army recruitment stand.
And a slate circle by Richard Long
which turns line into circle, one dimension into two.
[The work shown is Halifax Circle, which may or may not be the one I saw: Long has made several similar, and the slates in the photo seem less linear than the ones I saw today, but it looks very different from different angles.]

The stone circle of Richard Longs of your blog is also in Bilboa at the Guggenhiem - bilocation is a very good sign in an artwork.
Oh my god! So Vanilla does come here!! I could have succeeded were it not for the blasphemous censorship in this blog!!
(Forget it! Please do not publish this!)
hehe
Well of course. I wouldn't have censored it, at great cost to my conscience and principles, if it hadn't been necessary.
