Vain the paintings present themselves: In the Reina Sophia in Madrid, in the Tate Modern, in the Deichtorhallen, in the Guggenheim, ... Everywhere, where modern art calls its home, they want to hang – exhibiting themselves to critic and giving pleasure to those appreciative of art.
They want to be displayed in public viewing rooms and in white cubes they want to be viewed by people interested in art. Often someone photographs them, sometimes spectators stand in front of them rapt in thought – often passing through for only a short moment – lasting just the blink of an eye.
This is what paintings dream of. |
