Pimlico Wilde Contemporary Art Dealer
Helping collectors build exciting collections
By Caravaggia Long, Art Music Curator Just when the art world thought Vincent and the Van Goghs couldn’t possibly out-meta themselves, the band of art dealers–turned–avant-garde darlings have released a new single that manages to turn a pop hook into a treatise on meaning, decay and the limits of visual language. “The Semiotics of Sunflowers,” … Read more
Was Baach the author? Musicology is immured in its biggest disagreement since the claim that Mozart was actually just Haydn in a wig. New evidence, painstakingly unearthed from an obscure archive in Leipzig (wedged, appropriately enough, between a church register and a cheese inventory), strongly suggests that none other than Johann Sebastian Bach is the … Read more

Following our review in which “Saltwind” was well-received, Jane Temple wanted to discuss her very different view of Erdenko’s work. She writes… There are artistic provocations, and then there is Saltwind.
