Missing Photos from "The Polygons" Exhibition of Lee Miller
Miller made so few outstanding images, you gotta use them all. The shocking drowned SS guard image and the photo of her in Hitlers bath HAVEE TO BEE INCLUDED in any of her exhibitions. The Polygon Gallery in Vancouver failed to show the work at their exhibition.
Here are the missing images.
Lee Miller Exhibition at the Polygon a Disapointment!
The Lee Miller show at the Polygon in Vancouver is big let down.
80% of the exhibition is old rather boring fashion pics. A small room has itty bitty poorly printed prints shot during World War 2, these are the strongest photographs but their presentation stifles their power.
A highly disappointing exhibition that lacks substance. This show is all about celebrity phtohrpher promotion (recent movie anout her) of a minority artist, but lacking any good art.
More and more exhibitions I view are all about the artist with shotty art.
Her 2 most famous images are not even displayed. “Dead SS guard” and “Lee Miller in Hitlers bath” (a useless 1x1 inch version is in a magazine wall display), are not even in the exhibition.
What has happened to placing the art over the artist??
The exhibition also has a British newsreel of limited interest .
Even free, this exhibition was mostly a waste of time. This is my 3rd trip to the Polygon and the third time I have been disappointed. Time to get a new curation team or have the old team wake up!
