Shiny London
Nothing seduces me more than a clash, a romance, a twist between classic and modern. See Koon’s and Veilhan’s recent success in Versailles.
If, like me, you’re waiting for the crowds to be less imposing to enjoy Anish Kapoor’s exhibition, do give it a try and head for the Royal Academy of Art all the same. As soon as you step in the yard, this imposing steel sculpture towers you – 15 meters high! Inspired by the german poet Maria Rilke, Kappor created Tall tree and the eye, a complex building of 76 spheres, each reflecting the noble building and tourists to infinity… Hynotising!
If you like shiny surprises, you’ve got till Sunday to see a giant silver inflatable rabbit in Covent Garden!
