It’s Festival time in Edinburgh (what do
you mean, you hadn’t noticed?) and yet with all this art and
culture on your doorstep, you might have missed the re-birth of a
regular fixture right under your noses.
The City
Art Centre, the former Victorian warehouse originally built as
part of the Scotsman buildings before becoming the city’s fruit and
veg market, was re-opened at the end of July after extensive
upgrading.
And to celebrate, it’s currently playing host to not one, but
two rather spiffing exhibitions –
Life Work by the iconic American photographer Edward Weston and
William Wegman’s
Family Combinations both of which run until the last week of
October.
But with six floors of exhibition space, there’s plenty more to
discover besides just these displays, from other temporary
exhibitions, to the permanent collection, which includes some of
the nation’s finest artworks paintings, watercolours, drawings,
prints, photographs, sculpture and installation art – over 4500 of
the blighters in fact, dating from the 17th century to the present
day.
