Our programme of change and redisplay at the Graves Gallery continues next spring with two new gallery changeovers.
Gallery 6 will shine a spotlight on portraits and depictions of the figure from the city’s visual art collection. Alongside the visitor favourites like Daniel Mytens’ The 2nd Marquis of Hamilton (1623) and Pierre Bonnard’s Nu aux bas noires [Nude in Black Stockings] (1900) the new displays will feature recent acquisition, Giant Head of Gbenga in Profile (2003) by Nahem Shoa and work returning to display such as Accessories (1988) by Sheffield artist Lesley Sanderson.
JMW Turner’s largescale painting The Festival of the Opening of the Vintage at Macon moves next doors to Gallery 7 to form the centrepiece of a new display curated by artist Victoria Lucas. It’ll be accompanied by works by Camille Pissarro and Mary Potter and more as part of an exploration of our relationship with the landscape.
These new displays are generously supported by the Ampersand Foundation as part of a continuing five-year programme of change and redisplay at the Graves Gallery.
