Architecture Walk + Barker’s Department Store and Saatchi Gallery
Today, we went on a major Architectural Walk in the Holland Park Area. Most of the discussions centered around the houses in the area, with a few major buildings. Most notably, we saw Jimmy Page’s place. That about wraps up my interest on this topic.
After the walk, we headed down towards Barker’s Department Store. The store was one of the irst major department stores in england. Also, it was shaped like a boat, representing new technology and merchant ships becoming more and more to use with growing needs for consumer goods.
After this visit, we checked out Charles Saatchi gallery. If it doesn’t ring a bell, then don’t worry, because this name is only popular for it’s dealings with the Devious YBA group here in britain.
Saatchi would be firs to pick up on works by Quinn and Hirst before they would explode on the art scene. He’s now gained a bit of rep as an artist’s means to fame and success, but recent shows haven’t gotten the same acclaim as in year’s past, according to gerard.
