A trip to Milton Keynes and the MK Gallery to see the Andy Warhol Portrait of America Exhibition. The exhibition was run in conjunction with the Tate and National Galleries of Scotland. Despite being bombarded with emails and asked to book tickets, we ventuured forth in the hope of gaining entry without pre-booking. The gallery was not at all busy, and there were plenty of Andy Warhol paintings and drawings, from the early years up until his untimely death. Some images were provocative, the electric chair featured quite a few times. I enjoyed this exhibition far more than our visit in 2024 to see Vanessa Bell: A World of Form and Colour. I could imagine wallpapering the sitting room with the image of the pink cow head on a yellow background. Although it must be produced for the exhibition, R is lucky I have not found any of it for sale.

As it usual on these days out, we ate in the cafe, where the same chef as last time was on duty.
