Twiggy exhibition, Oct 1st

I finally made it to the exhibition, but found it a little lack-luster and didn't seem that well put together. There was a timeline of iconic photographs, with small comments from twiggy on each of them. Didn't really offer much insight, but there were a few photographs that stuck out for me that i loved.



This photograph was by Klaus Voormann.

I found the following info on https://sslsites.de/www.voormann-shop.com/information.php?info_id=12&language=en&osCsid=05f1fac1f546318252a07ec2ccc9bb11

'Twiggy Artwork for VOGUE

For the popular magazine VOGUE Klaus Voormann has designed several pictures with Twiggy. Based on photographs by Justin Devilleneuf, Klaus Voormann created the pictures with pencil in a very surrealistic way. Images of mystic beauty. This extraordinary artwork got many awards like the International Art Directors Award.'

In the blurb in the exhibition, i found out that this wasn't a proper shoot, and was taken at home (i assume hers). I found this on http://iamthechildofthemoon.blogspot.com/2008/10/twiggy.html

Walking around the space, i found it dull, and the people who were looking at them dragged the vibe of the space down even further. It was very hush-hush, with retired people walking extremely slowly around the whitewashed space and a guard giving you evils! I had hoped that the space would be more inspired, reflecting the personality of the person that they were trying to represent. It just felt like walking around a museum, and even the photos i did like lost their edge.

It really does emphasise the need for good design, as the exhibition was extremely one-dimensional, not interactive, and they could have made it a lot more interesting than a 50 word comment by twiggy on a photo she probably barely remembers. I'm not sure what i expected, but i was really bored and let-down.
