Thursday.

During our visit to the Saatchi Gallery in London this exhibit was spellbinding; 20:50 1987 by Richard Wilson has been shown in various other galleries until a room was specially built to occupy it at the Saatchi. It is completely breathtaking and very disorientating. The reflection of the windows on the surface and the huge piece of metal breaking the reflection is only eclipsed by the realisation that it is actually a huge vat of thick, black engine oil [ its type 20:50 ] its surface totally indelible until you give it a slight blow. I absolutely loved it.
