How many times does your mother have to tell you? Don't leave things until the last minute. Remember that time you failed VCE? Got audited by the ATO? Didn't go to the toilet before the jazz ballet eisteddfod? All bad memories that could have been avoided. This week we're channelling your mother because you still have a chance to see Guggenheim Collection: 1940s to Now at NGV International.
When else are you going to see a bunch of iconic artworks by Jackson Pollock*, Alberto Giacometti, Mark Rothko, Matthew Barney, Dan Flavin, Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman and other great western art practitioners of the late 20th and early 21st centuries? After you pay your tax bill and book a ticket to New York? Ya huh.
Get on that tram down St Kilda Road. No, not in that outfit what would your father say? I'll bet that's going to look good inked on your behind when you're 75. I said NOW.
