Review of the Week: The 90s: Art and Fashion @tate.bsky.social
⭐️⭐️

We were due a rigorous cultural appraisal of an increasingly mythologised decade. Sadly, this jarring clash of modern masterpieces and glossy-mag photoshoots is not it, writes Nerve art critic @benlukeart.bsky.social

Text card saying review of the Week: Art: The 90s: Art and Fashion, Tate Britain, London, until 14 February 2027. Two stars. With the photo by Eddie Otchere, Metalheadz Sunday Sessions in the Blue Note, Hoxton Square 1995-1996. With the quote: “Sentimentality is an inevitable danger”
