My Highlights from ARCOmadrid 2014
I was delighted to see so many interesting sculptures, of which I chose a few that seemed either especially characteristic of the artists who made them or, to the contrary, surprising exceptions. I was also pleased to find a range of generations, media, techniques, and interests, that I also sought to represent. No overarching theme; simply works I’m looking forward to seeing.
