Ed and Nancy Kienholz

Monday, 25 December 1989 - Sunday, 21 February 2010

National Gallery, St Martin's Lane, Strand, WC2N 5DN

Exhibitions: , Art, Gallery, Installation

How Much: Free!
The whores of Amsterdam are taking up residence in London this winter, and not just anywhere in London, but the bloody National Gallery of all places.

But before you get your knickers all in a twist, it's actually art, and not real prostitutes at all. For shame!

The installation - entitled The Hoerengracht - was produced by Amercian artists Ed and Nancy Kienholz, and was one of the last major pieces completed by the pair before Ed's death in 1994.

A fascinating idea in a completely unsuitable environment - could be a cracker.

Until 21.02.10.
