This exhibition was a few years before Janie became a friend of the Royal Academy but after they had started taking Friday late bookings, which suited us very well in those days. In fact, we still like going to the galleries and museums for those late openings.
Anyway, that’s what we did.
We both really liked this exhibition. Not only a chance to see some of Van Gogh’s superb works but also a rare chance to see his letters.
Here is a link to the Royal Academy’s on-line resource for this exhibition.
There’s a book if you want it – click the picture below for the Amazon link:
This search term – click here – finds several reviews of the exhibition. If they don’t rate it good they rate it brilliant.
Janie remembers the evening as magical, which is quite a good summary.
Subsequent correspondence tells me we must have bumped in to Bobbie Scully at that exhibition, but neither of us remembers doing that.
Neither of us can remember what we ate either – possibly we stopped at May’s on the way back to the country quarters…
