ArtSpam Favourites: October 2022
This month, this moth has been so so good for art! Oh its been fun! 10/10 would highly recommend to a friend! what’s been on? well you have the brilliant Hallyu, Korean wave exhibition on at the V&A. its been highly anticipated and included costumes from all your favourite K-Dramas including: Squid Games and My Love from the Star. There’s also the stunning Van Cleef’s and Arpels exhibitions: The Art of Movement where we run through the firms history in jewellery design. Prepare to be dazzled by jewels guys. What’s more is that a lot of art is currently on for free! ( I know, shocker) but times are a-changing and accessibility in the arts is now more important than ever. This may be some of the most diverse pieces of art that I have shown on this site as the exhibitions had everything from antique prints, to gender to popular culture to feminism. I mean, wow. this month has been brilliant! So without further ado, here are the top ten pieces of art for October :)
