The gallery is closed for the winter and the walls are bare. But behind the scenes things are stirring. Colin Wilkin, the Keeper of the Fry Collection has been busy with Mark Hearld selecting pieces from the stores to put on show in ‘Fry’s Popular Delights’. The exhibition will explore the link between the ‘Fry Artists’ and Popular Art. It will feature exciting items loaned in from other collections as well as our own works. As you can see, our team of hard-working volunteers have been deploying their practical skills to good effect, preparing works for hanging.
‘Fry’s Popular Delights’ co-curated by Mark Hearld and Colin Wilkin will be open between Sunday 5th April and Sunday 25th October.
Meanwhile in the Gibson Room we will be showing a selection of work by illustrator and collage artist Michelle Thompson, who has been shown at the RA and whose clients include The Guardian, The New York Times, and Marvel. We hope to bring you an update on progress very shortly.
