Cotton to Gold
Exhibition running at 2 Temple Place London WC2.
May have missed any notice(s) of it in either the Observer or Lancashire Telegraph??
Current Exhibition - Two Temple Place
Cotton to Gold: The riveting new show that mines the art riches of industrialists - Features - Art - The Independent
Intro by Caudia Pritchard in the Independent:
"The loom that presides over the first room of Cotton to Gold, a revelatory new show opening in London at the end of the month, fashioned more than premium fabric: its relentless mechanism drove a passion for collecting whose legacy is enjoyed to this day. Prospering principally from the textile industry, discerning 19th-century gentlemen entrepreneurs of the North-west ploughed their new wealth into the acquisition of fine things, from books to glass, prints, watercolours, ancient coins, natural history specimens and icons – extraordinary treasures brought together for the first time."
I'll have to drop in there when daahn Sarf sometime soon
