The story of gold: modern imaginations | Stories in Colour Podcast Gold Ep3 | National Gallery

When the artist Louise Nevelson immigrated to America as a child, she was told that ‘the streets... would be paved in gold’. Obviously, they weren’t, but that hasn’t stopped modern artists turning pretty much everything else golden. Even a toilet. Join National Gallery Courses and Events Programmer Caroline Miller, Associate Curator of Contemporary and Modern Priyesh Mistry and host Beks in the final episode of our sparkling miniseries. From Gustav Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’ to an artwork so valuable it has hardly ever been displayed, we explore how artists have explored and tested the limits of gold. ____ Subscribe to our YouTube channel and never miss an episode of 'Stories in Colour': http://bit.ly/1HrNTFd You can email us with any questions via [email protected] Find out more about the podcast on our website: www.nationalgallery.org.uk/podcast ____ 🎨 Find out more about artworks in the episode: Joseph Beuys, ‘How to Explain Pictures to a Dead Hare’, 1965.
