Shocking revelations at art gallery
Art News Blog is a topical selection of visual art news, art reviews and art related stories online.
One news story that they picked up in The Scotsman concerns a gallery owner in Swindon, UK; he has created a stir by offering to anyone who bares all, 25% off any purchases of works from the Bodyline exhibition at Gallery 39. It will, he suggests, "help them to feel closer to the art."
The story coincides with other news that an art student is considering suing her college because she finds nude studies that are displayed on the college walls degrading and offensive to her religious principles. Now if the college were demanding that she bares all in order to obtain an empathy with her models :-))
