Description
noun (m)
segons el GDLC:
m ART Acte d'inauguració d'una exposició d'art consistent en la reunió de l'artista o els artistes que hi exposen amb els invitats (antigament hom aplicava en aquest moment un vernís protector a l'obra pictòrica).
A complete philistine who was amazed to learn this Catalan word and its origins found a similar word 'vernissage' which it would appear we use in English:
OALD:
vernissage
an occasion when a few invited people can look at paintings before they go on show to the public
A question to all you art buffs, do people actually talk about going to a 'vernissage' in English or would we perhaps use 'private showing' instead / as well?
I would use "a private view" for this.
