The Guggenheim Collection 1940s to Now are currently on show at the National Gallery of Victoria. On show is a collection of postwar and contemporary art extracted from various branches around the world from the famous Guggenheim Museum.

I can safely say I do not understand contemporary art at all. But I do enjoy some of the themes on show at NGV. The exhibits are based around 9 themes: “Postwar Abstraction in the United States”, “Postwar Abstraction in Europe”, “Postwar Figuration in Europe and the Americas”, “Art of the 1960s and 1970s: Minimalism, Post-Minimalism, and Conceptual Art”, “Art of the 1960s and 1970s: Pop Art”, “The Legacy of Pop”, “The Natural World”, “Constructed Worlds”, and finally “Between Public and Private”.

My favourite has to be “‘Untitled’ (Public Opinion) 1991″ by Felix Gonzalez-Torres. It consists of a large pile of liquorice candy. I’ve been told visitors can help themselves to the candy. So, try it, if you like liquorice.

The exhibits are on show from 30th June and will end on 7th October. Tickets are at
Adult: $20,
Concession: $16,
Family: $50. You might enjoy the exhibits after dark every Wednesday, from 5 to 9 pm.
