FIVE BEST EXHIBITIONS
Ed Ruscha
(Hayward Gallery, London)
He paints the out-of reach: distances, invisibilities, words against clouds and mountains, maps stretching away, silhouettes, blurs...
(0871 663 2500) to 10 Jan
Angels of Anarchy
(Manchester Art Gallery)
Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim, Dorothea Tanning, Lee Miller, Claude Cahoon: mid-20th-century women artists and their relationship to surrealism.
(0161-235 8888) to 10 Jan
John Baldessari
(Tate Modern, London)
A witty conceptualist, arranging words and images in short circuits and self-contradictions and blind spots. Is it clever? Is it funny?
(020-7887 8888) to 10 Jan
Anish Kapoor
(Royal Academy, London)
The master of illusionistic sculptures, with concaves and convexes, reflections and voids and saturated colours. Can you refrain from saying “spirituality”?
(020-7300 8000) to 11 Dec
Bridget Riley
(Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool)
A brief survey of the work of this abstract magician, from the early black-and white optical cabaret to the later flickering dance in colour.
