Gerhard Richter : Paintings from Private Collections Exhibition
at National Galleries of Scotland Complex.
Close Up : curated by Dawn Ades and Simon Baker,
at The Fruitmarket Gallery.
Single artist, Richter show was beautifully arranged and presented, good quality experience.
Themed group show, Close-Up illustrated the concept, some interesting works (Starling) but mostly just works which fitted the theme.
Therefore need to consider curating of themed shows, for concept, content, experience. Its not enough to fit round the theme, selected works must be specific.
