Carved, Cast, Constructed - British Culture, 1951-1991 at Marlborough Fine Art, Mayfair, London.
We came upon this exhibition by chance. We had just left the John Martin gallery where we had gone to see the John Caple exhibition. The man on the ladder below caught my eye, so we went inside to have a look.

I hope you enjoyed this exhibition. It's good to see that these artists are still popular. It's unusual to see John Davies' and Margaret Mellis' work these days.
ReplyDeleteIt was a real pleasure, Olga, and more so because it was unexpected.
