SOLID AS A ROCK?
The
Serpentine Gallery, tucked away in London’s Kensington Gardens is a
short walk from our hotel lobby. Witness Rock on Top of Another Rock,
Swiss artists Fischli/Weiss’s first public sculpture to be commissioned
in the UK, formed from two colossal glacial boulders precariously
stacked on top of one another. Stability and instability explored with
wondrous wit. Rocking.

extraordinary eras of Paris between 1916 and 1968 through over 150
vintage prints, fashion images and key works. Not to be missed.
