Co-curated by Isabella Smith & Frestonian Gallery and supported by loans from The Crafts Council
Private View: Wednesday 11th February 6-8pm
Exhibition Dates: Thursday 12th February to Saturday 21st March
The exhibition Crossings: Hans Coper, Sam Herman, Lucie Rie & Eduardo Paolozzi traces the movement of ideas that reshaped British art in the post-war decades, focusing on four immigrant artists who expanded the nation’s aesthetic and material vocabulary. Together, these artists reveal Britain as a crossroads of global perspectives: a place where exile, migration and cultural exchange sparked new forms of making. The exhibition celebrates their legacy – a modern British art energised, expanded and reimagined by international influence.
