By the way, which one's Pink?

I'm stewarding at a local art exhibition and saw this picture by a local artist

A gold star in your book if you recognise him.
It's still for sale at £110

The interesting part surely is - did he sit for your local artist, or is the sketch simply based on some other image? I suspect the price suggests the latter.

Anyone else go to the Pink Floyd exhibition, 'Their Mortal Remains', at the V&A a couple of years ago?

Packed full of memorabilia and other artefacts all presented in a very creative manner, and ending with the large darkened studio playing 'Comfortably Numb' on a loop; I really enjoyed it!

I also went to the 'David Bowie Is' exhibition at the V&A the previous year, which was even better IMHO.

Bowie must have been bloody good. Floyd exhibition was great. Both I and CC#2 still have the T-shirts. The sound system was cracking ( i.e. when you approached an exhibit it picked up the audio at the point to match the looping video ) .

In June this year Dave Gilmour's "Black Strat" was sold at Christie's for US$3.975 million, becoming the most valuable guitar ever sold, privately or at auction.
The Black Strat was Gilmour's primary performance and recording guitar on every Pink Floyd album from 1970 to 1983 plus all four of his solo albums. It is the primary guitar used on The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall. It was also the guitar played in the famous Gilmour guitar solo in 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond'.

Objectively they may have been equal but, as I written on a thread elsewhere on LF, Bowie and his music and the cultural influences he created have had a massive, enduring influence on my life and my family's, so perhaps my comment was more subjective. I'm not a wearer of T-shirts, but the framed poster from the exhibition is in our hall, a gift from my wife.

But before I stray too O/T, I would repeat that the Pink Floyd exhibition, and especially the darkened room at the end playing classic tracks, was spectacular, and thoroughly enjoyable. On a slightly smaller scale, some folks may be interested to learn that there's a Black Sabbath exhibition currently running at Birmingham Museum (in the excellent Gas Hall) although I haven't been: https://www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/bm ... h-50-years
