Last week I visited two great exhibitions in London – the first ‘Bowie / Collector’ was at Sotheby’s at a preview by the curator of the personal art collection of David Bowie – this was a truly fascinating insight into his eclectic tastes. Favourites included ‘Air Power’ by Jean-Michel Basquiat and ‘Parent I’ by Dame Barbara Hepworth. The first auction of Modern & Contemporary Art is being held this Thursday at 7pm — watch out for the results ! The second exhibition was ‘ Night Orchids’ at PACE gallery and featured new paintings by Brian Clarke which were stunning — followed on thursday by a lecture at Salisbury Cathedral by Brian on his incredible stained glass projects including collaborations with Sir Norman Foster & the late Dame Zaha Hadid. Back at Coastal Gallery we have received great new work by Julie Collins and Stephen Powell – come and see these and more from all our gallery artists as we prepare for Christmas at Coastal!
