Recently I headed to the Djanogly Gallery, part of the Lakeside Arts complex on the University of Nottingham campus for the Andy Warhol: Pop Icon Exhibition. It was made possible by ARTIST Rooms, a touring collection of artwork owned by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland to showcase artwork that, let’s face it, would never normally make its way to the East Midlands.
The Royal Academy of Arts is based in Burlington House, a 17th century mansion. Construction began in 1664; the plot of land had been given to Sir John Denham, Charles II’s Surveyor of the Office of Works, as thanks for his loyalty to the King. Renovations to the exterior and interior took place over the years with the third Earl of Burlington in particular inspired by Italian architecture.
Please note photos have been removed due to lack of hosting space.
The Munch Museum in Oslo has the largest collection of Edvard Munch’s work in the world and when I visited their exhibition focused on the parallels between Munch’s work and that of Vincent van Gogh.
