Another day another art exhibition. This time it was a return to Compton Verney and their summer exhibitions of David Batchelor’s work, a selection of portraits which were both photographs and a couple of paintings from the National Portrait Gallery and a selection from the Magnum collection called ‘Where ideas are born’. Of the three the Magnum exhibition was by far the best. It was a series of portraits of famous artists with one or two who were not in their studios.

As for the main exhibition, I guess you could call it a retrospective of sorts of well it certainly didn’t ‘rock my boat’ but I guess each to their own.
