The Ornithologist by Leslie Young, 1978
There isn't a lot of information around on the Bolton Museum & Art Gallery website about the latest exhibition to open here, At The Edge. Happily, however, it is a touring exhibition, and the previous venues have been a little more forthcoming.
The exhibition includes paintings, sculpture and ceramics by major artists such as Henry Moore, John Bratby, Lucian Freud, Patrick Heron, Leon Kossof, Frank Auerbach, David Mach, Dhruva Mistry and Helen Chadwick. Many of these works were controversial at the time they were made, and it will be interesting to compare them to the works by Emin and Hirst that shock today. It also looks at the difficulties that local galleries had to overcome to add work by leading British artists to their collections
Runs until October 30th. Free admission.
