Fiona Bruce speaks at the opening of Provenance by legendary forger and Castle Galleries artist, John Myatt in autumn 2012
he discusses the workload and deadlines surrounding such an extensive exhibition. “To be able to showcase a major body of work, which has gone through so many twists and turns over the years, is such a great opportunity.” Horton’s portfolio has drawn comparisons to the subject matter of Lowry, the methods and materials of Degas, and the myth that allows Chagall to so vividly explode – all of this, whilst
portraying a narrative to which everyone can almost universally relate to. Simon Cain, Interim Director of Birmingham Museums Trust comments, “This exhibition should prove of particular interest to our audiences, allowing them to relate to, and interact with, the art work.” The next chapter for Washington Green Fine Art and the public arts sector sees a second invitation for critically
acclaimed artist Alexander Millar to exhibit in his homeland of Scotland. “Homecoming” will feature over eighty original oils and charcoals created by Millar for the people of Glasgow and Scotland, depicting the industries
and communities that built the country – hailing from Scotland himself, this exhibition at Scotland Street School Museum will come in what promises to be a memorable year for Scotland and Alexander Millar.
“With Provenance, John reminded us how the apparent superiority and invulnerability of those in the art trade is in fact all too often a trick of the light, and the flash suit. He deserves our thanks for that.” —David Lee, Art Critic & Editor of The Jackdaw
