Promised myself a top-10 of artworks that use/are about smell. More difficult than I thought…
Top-10 of un-touchable art
Tony Cragg: Eroded Landscape
As I wrote earlier, I really love the feel of things. It’s as if I cannot really connect to something that I have not touched. Unfortunately – but understandably – musea and galleries usually have strict ‘hands off’ policies. In my own work I try to tempt the viewer to become a do-er, to tempt them to use their hands to explore the work. See experiments 001, 002 and 003 for example. I have not met with any great success yet. Apparently the ‘hands-off’ sign the art world imprints on it’s followers is very dominant. Or maybe I just didn’t try hard enough, or didn’t leave the right clues. Have to work on that some more.
Anyway, as a little thought experiment I will list my very own top-10 of works of art that I have seen at museums and that made my hands itch. Here goes, in no particular order:
- Claudie Hunziger: titel?
- Anish Kapoor: As if to Celebrate, I Discovered a Mountain Blooming with Red Flowers
- Jean-Honoré Fragonard: Denis Diderot, Louvre
- Guiseppe Penone: titel?
- Marc Mulders: Titel?
- Lucian Freud: Leigh under the skylight, 1994
- Anish Kapoor: Ishi’s Light 2003, Tate Modern
- Richard Long, ‘Halifax Circle’ Delabole Slate, 1989.
