I was a bit confused by that email from Elms "Thursday 20th Oct"? Its the Thurs 22nd Oct today.

Is this tonight, or was it last Tuesday?

just received my poster (red one), unfortunatly slightly damaged, but not a real problem.. will get it framed, but thinking to get rid of the white border.. This one isnt signed, so it's a bit useless, it also might cut down framingcosts...

Dont think contacting Laz will do you much good in this case

haha otto - good one. ;D

Nice post Zippy, good to see galleries going the extra mile even when cash is not involved. It's this type of practice that you don't forget in a hurry. Only ever bought books from Elms but Fiona has always been great to deal with.

yeah - that might do the trick, a little sad it got creased. I could see it on the tube when the postman delivered. But still happy about it, Sacked got it for me without I knew, sent it to me, I didnt pay anything, true gent.

Its in the folder now - maybe it helps a bit also

Never seen her yet. But love her voice

and does the Government know about this "heap"

Just had an email from Elms looks like Paul will be doing more of his guided tours on the next two Thursdays and Saturdays before the exhibition closes in a couple of weeks. The tour gives a great insight into the individual pieces and is well worth the trip down there if you are into Adams work.

The only thing that was lacking on the tour was an ice cold beer

i finally managed to get to the adam neate show yesterday and i have to say i was completely blowin away by his work .this show is probably the best i have ever been to .adam is so far ahead in the art world he has leapt to a different level and has left others behind . he is britain best artist at the moment if not the world .
i strongly advise people who have not been to get there before it closes on the 21stnovember .
big thanks to elms lester for showing me around

beautiful show, the 3D works are pretty mind blowing, but some of the smaller paintings left me a bit cold... My favourite pieces were actually the perspex layer pieces, which I thought were fantastic.

this saturday I attended the tour.. Paul was a perfect host and took our group for a 75 minute tour. It was great to get the timeline in this work, it really adds something to understand the choices of Neate. The man is still studying his own skills, his search for the combination of 2d/3d/4d and the way to paint a piece moving is great to see.

For me the best pieces were the perspex layered ones, at first sight really simple, but an image that keeps growing on you. The two portraits (especially the grey ones) were also great.

Not sure about the perspex, I see those pieces (e.g. reclining nude (not sure about that name) and madonna as a phase he had to go through to reach his latest pieces (the three big canvasses you can see in the background of the pictures RYCA posted..).

the only bad thing is I can't wait to see the next show now..

Afterwards I had a great talk with Paul about Adam and his career. I asked Paul if Adam would do an internation show on short term, Paul answered with an interesting point of view: Adam won't do this in the near future because when he is asked for a show he is asked to make NEW works in the same style as his latest show. That's just not the way Adam is working (at the moment), he is still improving/exploring his style, he doesnt want to repeat anything he has done before.. Paul gives him the time and space to do this.

Oh, when you're in London, don't forget to see the Popart exhibition in the Tate too! That was great! esp. the Haring-room and the pieces by Warhol, a must see for everyone, I think!
