Gallery Director

Several years ago I stopped into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Hollywood to visit a friend who had unexpectedly landed there for an emergency procedure. Cedars had a well-known program of installing actual art in patients' rooms, rather than bland designer graphics or cheap reproductions. My friend was a well-respected museum curator and critic, so I was especially puzzled to encounter an ordinary scarf unceremoniously taped to the wall opposite her bed.

"What's that?" I asked.

"My scarf," she moaned. "Underneath is the ugliest watercolor I've ever seen. It's making me sick."

Application deadline: Friday 4 September at 14:00 hours (GMT)
