3/5 The M. 1 year ago on Google
My
3rd
visit
-
to
view
Barbara
Hepworth's
current
exhibition.
This
is
small
&
you'd
be
done
in
under
40
mins
incl.
viewing
a
grainy
doco
that
gives
an
insight
into
the
landscape
of
Cornwall
&
surrounds
that
inspired
her
sculptures.
The
exhibits
in
the
Heide
II
was
the
kind
that
you
walk
in
&
out
again.
As
they
say
-
art
appreciation,
especially
modern
art
is
in
the
eye
of
the
beholder....
You
will
be
fitted
with
a
wrist
band
once
you
get
your
tix
or
show
your
pre-purchased
tix.
Need
to
keep
this
on
to
gain
entry
into
Heide
II
&
Reed's
cottage
which
has
more
artwork
by
the
bohemian
arty
circle
that
Heide
is
reknowned
for.
It
was
just
too
hot
on
the
recent
Sun
to
walk
up
to
Reed
cottage
after
Heide
I
&
II.
The
vast
surrounds
which
melds
with
adjacent
Banksia
park
looked
dull
&
uninspiring
with
the
same
old
unchanging
outdoor
sculptures
bar
a
few
newer
ones.
Yes
-it
is
the
hottest
&
driest
time
of
the
year
but
surely
with
the
kind
of
patronage
&
funding
Heide
receives,
upkeep
&
maintenance
should
be
constant...
What's
with
the
unsealed,
dusty
&
inadequate
car
parking
area
esp.
for
the
crowds
that
turn
up
on
a
Sunday?
You
can
drive
round
to
the
2nd
level
park
&
if
this
small
space
is
full
-
turn
right
-
all
the
way
down
to
Banksia
Park
parking
areas
&
hike
uphill
to
get
to
Heide's
main
entrance.
With
Heide,
there's
this
smug
complacency
to
do
nothing
much
to
increase
patronage.
Be
like
NGV,
McClleland
Sculpture
Park,
PT
Leo
Sculpture
Park
or
the
wineries
that
incorporate
outdoor
artwork
&
sculptures
-
evolve,
upscale
&
maintain
please!
