Thanks, Brian.  That exhibition is really quite interesting because  
some of the images are a bit boring -- Untitled no 9 and no 12, for  
instance.

But then perhaps they don't transfer to the screen very well.  There  
are some interesting mixes of colours, but many of them are too dark  
to see.  You'd have to have a pretty light place to find the subject  
in some of them.

It's a good thing that AndrewF isn't listening ... :-)
