The collection spans the whole of the 20th century, starting with the early sculpture that were mostly imitations of foreign works (from Mexico, Africa, Cuba etc..)
I enjoyed the works that were dated around the 1960s, which touched on the aspect of ground - earth - material - our natural surroundings. Clothes, articles, books were jammed into various nooks. Installation art at its best.

The only work I did not appreciate was by Damien Hirst, titled "Let's Eat Outdoors Today". It speaks about social classes and the differences between them, and yes it was intriguing, but the fact that tens of flies were being suffocated to death did not strike me as humane at all.

Enjoyed the input. Damien Hirst's work is generally overrated, I'm not surprised.
