In conjunction with Beverley Art Gallery’s latest exhibition success, the Treasure House will host a series of events by guest curator Dr Gerardine Mulcahy-Parker.
The lecture will give participants an opportunity to learn more about the artists on display and how such a remarkable exhibition came about.
Dr Gerardine Mulcahy-Parker, a prominent art historian and freelance curator, will give a talk about her recent exhibition, ‘Crossing borders from the Danube to the Humber: Alfred Gruber and Friends’, which looks into how she unearthed the story of Austrian-born Alfred Gruber and his European artistic circle during the 1960s and beyond.
In addition, the exhibit offers the chance to view original drawings, sculptural models, tools, and materials, and to discover more about what made this exceptional artist tick.
The event will be held on Saturday, 7 May at 13.30 – 2.30 p.m. in the Education Room on the first floor of the Treasure House. East Riding Museums have set a price of £5 per person, and those who wish to purchase tickets should do so in advance by visiting the website or by calling the customer service number (01482) 392699, which is open Monday to Friday.
There are also limited tickets available at the Treasure House at the Beverley Art Gallery.
Dr Mulcahy-Parker will also conduct a lunchtime tour to introduce visitors to the exhibition. Participants can ask questions and share their views with the curator during the meeting.
Additionally, Gruber’s kinetic artworks, including his magnificent sculptural gong, will be on display with additional drawings, sculptural models, tools and materials that visitors will be able to experience up close.
