David Smith, CubiXXV111965 Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum, New York. By exchange 1967. On Display at the RA in London.

My latest venture was to the Royal Academy of Arts exhibition ‘Abstract Expressionism’. An exhibition I loved particularly because of work by artists such as Pollock, Rothko and de Kooning. So much colour and so much meaning and once again my arts hit did the trick.

David Smiths sculptures on display in the Annenberg Courtyard outside the RA building are so different to the show inside. I walked straight passed them enroute in, but worth a long pause at the end and my reason for a planned return visit with lots of questions.
