Yeah, how about that Rothko room?! Incredible. Lost in emotions in that room. Wish I could transport there right now. Pollock's were pretty good too! And the de Kooning's. I also had my mind opened to Gorky. Predictably, I hand bought a book to learn more about Gorky.

Tell me about it, really was my favourite part of the entire show. Breathtaking and a whole array of emotion.
I could never get a Rothko print as it just wouldn't be the same.
I also really enjoyed Ad Reinhardt's work. Seeing it in the flesh gave me a whole new appreciation. Very cool.

Royal Academy - Abstract Expressionism, by Dibbs 45 on Nov 19, 2016 0:18:09 GMT 1, I went to this show a few weeks back and its truly amazing. Jackson Pollocks Blue Poles was stunning in its intricacy. The Rothko's as well draw you in. Well worth the ยฃ12 to get in. Could have spent hours in there.

You will love it. It's a fantastic exhibition. You will need those few hours. Regarding the book, this is the show catalog.
shop.royalacademy.org.uk/ra-publications/abstract-expressionism-exhibition-catalogue-hardback.html
It's worth spending the extra for the hardback version. It's beautifully bound. Available at the shop and online.

Royal Academy - Abstract Expressionism, by chads007 on Jan 2, 2017 0:57:56 GMT 1, I went a couple weeks ago and enjoyed it overall. Though I did feel it was all a bit claustrophobic and crammed in. The Rothko's especially needed space to breathe and there were a lot of people in that particular area. The book is recommended as coach mentioned.

Royal Academy - Abstract Expressionism, by doyle on Jan 2, 2017 3:37:28 GMT 1, I absolutely loved it. I was expected to be stunned by the Rothko's but it was the work of Clyfford Still which stood out for me and whose work I hadn't read about before, esp P150. The huge canvases made such an impact in the space and as one show together, I'm very happy I was able to see this as no tickets were available online so we went down and bought from the ticket office. Had a browse around the shop after and while the hardback book in not available until 18th Jan, I bought these cute Pollock bookmarks on canvas type material. I love them as a little momento of the amazing Blue Poles piece.
