It reflects how photography especially has metastasized throughout the art of the last 30 years.

But perhaps the biggest dilemma is how to tell the story of art of the last 30 years.

In any other country, a show reviewing the art of the last 100 years might well be considered a run-of-the-mill retrospective.

But the fact is the very best art of the past 30 or 40 years has been abstract art.

As used in Western art of the last 200 years, watercolor has generally been a vehicle for first impressions.

It makes you realise how integral these works are to the contemporary art of the past 15 years.

Needless to say, all these qualities take the work remarkably close to the avant-garde art of the last 100 years.

They also seem to be an attempt to create a point of intersection for the art of the last 30 years.

What is also troubling is the lack of seriousness in the museum's approach to the art of the last 20 years.

Its goal is to present the best art of the previous two years.
