...Daily Mail. But the tabs' time might be better spent exploring the cozy relationship between the Turner Prize judges and the nominees. Andrew Wilson, who short-listed Perry, was paid to pen a catalog essay on him for an exhibition of Perry's work in Amsterdam this year. Tate, the Tate Modern's magazine, which promotes the museum's activities - including the Turner Prize - reports that in 12 of the last 20 years, Turner Prize jurors came from galleries that had hosted exhibitions for nominated artists. Three 1989 nominees had exhibited in Bristol's Arnolfini Gallery - whose director, Barry Barker...
...fell and nine years since it closed for a ?100 million makeover, the Albertina opened last month to reveal a stunning symbiosis of traditional and modern architecture: glorious, handcrafted staterooms inspired by palaces such as Versailles and Laeken, alongside cool, high-tech spaces that bring to mind London's Tate Modern. For director Klaus Albrecht Schröder, this juxtaposition of old and new is the Albertina's unique selling point. "You move from one world to another.

There's a peculiarly local flavor to the latest show of contemporary art at London's Tate Britain, which opened last week. It's evident even in the work of featured artists who hail from Japan or Turkey. Shizuka Yokomizo photographs strangers at their windows by appointment - a perfect comment on the land of net curtains. Kutlug Ataman devoted earlier film and video work to a transvestite and a faded opera star. Now, in The 4 Seasons of Veronica Read, he chronicles a year in the life of the woman who keeps Britain's official collection of amaryllis lily varieties...
...with no hot restaurant and no cabs. At a time when the museum blockbuster is threatened by high insurance rates and topic fatigue--there are Monet haystacks I see more often than I see my mother--"Matisse Picasso," which comes to the U.S. after hugely successful runs at the Tate Modern in London and the Grand Palais in Paris, is proof that the blockbuster can still be a public service, not to mention a supreme pleasure. It's only February, but it's safe to say that this is the show of the year...
