How can a strictly amateur self taught artist get to exhibit at the Tate Gallery.?
Everyone has different opinions about art, ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’, as they say. Or, in the case of most art galleries, beauty and worth is judged by the curators who put exhibitions together. And art critics, who form poeple’s opinions on what is good and waht is bad 😉 I am not sure if you mean *you* are a non professional artist who wants to get exhibited at the Tate OR you are are asking how an ‘awful’ painting of the Queen got exhibited. If it is the latter, then I imagine someone saw *something* of merit in the painting. Anyway, it would be highly unlikely that a non-professional artist got exhibited at the Tate. You would only get spotted and recognised by the Art Establishment if you were creating work and exhibiting it on a serious, professional (full time) basis. As for the pile of bricks and unmade bed, they were part of a different tradition of art. Artists always try to push the boundaries.
