David Smith : On View- Selected Works
Annoying little exhibition at Hauser & Wirth of work by David Smith. I say annoying because there was no information on it. When I asked about a press release or web page the person on the information desk said there wasn’t one as it was a temporary display. A bit of Googling told me Smith was an Expressionist sculptor and the centre of the display was a selection of interesting standing and hanging work. Around the edge were works on paper which I would like to have known more about. I’d done a talk recently on the Surrealist roots of expressionism and I felt they fitted in with that idea but who knows as there were no labels or commentary.
