Yesterday I was up in London, mainly for a meeting at Egmont (which unfortunately had to be put back to next week) but as Sarah McIntyre had booked us tickets for the Rodchenko and Popva exhibition at the Tate in the morning, I made the journey in anyway, and am very glad I did!

We were joined by Rian Hughes, and it was a highly enjoyable morning. It was great to see some of the wonderful Soviet posters and designs that had inspired my Tayaut poster in the previous entry, and as Sarah had lived in Moscow for two years, her knowledge of the subject provided an enlightening insight into many of the works. Afterwards we had lunch at Leon's (not Trotsky) and Sarah took some photographs, including the one below of Rian and me in the shape of constructivist icons. I was home by 3 pm and back to work on Orchid edits.

Do go and watch this great talk that Rian gave at the Art Director's Club in New York. And I think this is as good an opportunity as ever to show off my Soviet medal collection too.
