'1981 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother For the Contemporary Art Society 1981 was a year of necessary consolidation after a period of unprecedented expansion. Moreover, the most welcome occurrence in the society's year was not strictly contemporary at all: the gift of 28 paintings and drawings by David Bomberg who died in 1957. These came from his sister Kitty — her portrait is on the cover of this report —and her husband, Jim Newmark, who have long been members of the society. They wanted to support its work in a constructive way and they also felt that these important pictures should be seen by the public. For this reason it was decided to distribute the gift Nancy Balfour, OBE Chairman immediately, giving first refusal to galleries favoured by Mr. and Mrs. Newmark Caryl Hubbard Vice Chairman (for example, Birmingham because David Bomberg was born there). Of course all Bryan Montgomery Honorary Treasurer these galleries belong to the society and naturaiiy none of them refused such a Edward Lucie-Smith valuable acquisition (listed on page 10). We find it hard to express adequately our Marquess of Dufferin and Ava gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Newmark for the imaginative generosity which has Catherine Curran enabled us to present this bonus to some of our member galienes. Joanna Drew Geoffrey Tucker, CBE All of them can, however, be sure of a gift later this year, of a work by a living Alan Bowness, CBE artist, to be selected next October when, under the title of Contemporary Choice Carol Hogben 1979-1981, our purchases during that period will be shown at the Serpentine Belle Shenkman, CM Gallery in Kensington Gardens, by courtesy of the Arts Council. The value of the David Brown 100-odd works offered at our last distribution in 1979 was only a little over Robin Campbell CBE £50,000; this year the total, for a similar number of works, will be neariy three William Packer times as much. Even allowing for inflation, and for the fact that money does not Ann Sutton FSIAD guarantee excellence, this should mean, and in our view does mean, that the Edward Dawe quality will be higher this time round and well worthy of the museums to which Muriel Wilson the pictures and sculptures are to be given. We look forward to meeting the Lady Vaizey representatives of the hundred or so public art galleries, from all parts of Britain, Mary Rose Beaumont which belong to the society at the Serpentine Gallery next autumn, and to hearing Ronnie Duncan their views both on what we should buy and also on our experimental pilot James Hoiioway scheme inaugurated in 1980, Under this we subsidise purchases chosen by Jeremy Rees galleries themselves from certain mixed exhibitions, by paying 25 per cent of the Alan Roger cost up to a maximum of £500; but this opportunity has not been used as frequently as we had expected. Pauline Vogeipoel, MBE The Petronilla Spencer-Silver Ore The society's ability to spend more lavishly over the last few years has been due in part to purchase grants — from the Arts Councils of Great Britain and Scotland, T. W. Paterson Honorary Sc from the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers and from the Linbury Trust; we are most grateful for all of these. But the increased spending has also been due to the improvement in our basic income from subscriptions; this has gone up from £11,200 in 1976 to £29,500 in 1981. This is explained mainly by the new category of corporate membership, introduced in 1978, which brought in £10,700 in 1981 During the year Lord Croft and Gabrielle Keiller retired from the committee. from 37 such members. There were aiso gains, both in numbers and in income, in Rose Beaumont, Ronnie Duncan, James Hoiioway, Jeremy Rees and Alan Roger 1981 in all our other classes of membership — public galleries, art dealers and were elected to the committee. individuals. But we would certainly be glad of more members in all categories, The principal activities of the society are to promote the development of particularly of more individual members; there are still only about 1,500 of these contemporary art and to acquire works by living artists for presentation to public although many of them pay more than the minimum subscription. We have aiso, collections In Great Britain and elsewhere. once again, been particularly encouraged by the unsolicited and often substantial additions to their subscriptions offered by several public galleries at a time of The society's activities during the year resulted in a surplus of £1,423 at unprecedented pressure on their already inadequate funds. A number of 31 December, 1981. charitable trusts also support us financially. Ali these contributions are much appreciated, as are the gifts of pictures and sculptures which we received during BALFOUR the year in addition to the Bomberg donation. Chairman May 28 1982 Some of our corporate members have aiso to be thanked for adding to our purchase funds in another way, since the society benefits from donations when it is asked to advise them on acquiring work by living artists. Some firms, most recently Esso Europe and Morgan Grenfell, require help in finding a few interesting pictures each year; others want to put together a substantial collection society as well as a larger budget. But unfortunately the move into the old nurses' to enhance a new building. The latest examples here are the National home across the road from the Tate Gallery has been delayed and so the society's Westminster Bank for its tower block and BP International for the extension to its activities continue to be restricted by lack of space in which to develop them. headquarters near the Barbican.

These projects put a substantial burden on those members them. Meanwhile Sonya Birksted has been dealing regularly with the membership of our committee who volunteer to handle them. Nevertheless, we would like records and Harold French with the accounts, Caryn Faure-Walker has continued more of our corporate members to ask us to aid them in this way and we would her research into the society's archives and other members have been helping in like other firms, small as well as large, to join and to request our advice.

The combination of the society's own increased spending and of the outlays made In particular they make a major contribution to our programme of events, both by with its help by corporate members means that since 1978, the year in which I adding to the ideas put forward by the events sub-committee and by handling the became chairman, well over £800,000 has been spent under our auspices on work details of the arrangements.

Since one of the two purposes of the society is to promote the meals and other requirements with unfailing efficiency and enthusiasm — and at development of contemporary art, I feel that I can retire satisfied that the society bargain rates, even though under present conditions our charges may seem high is indeed doing this.

  • Biography and Career Exhibitions Exhibition Titles Are Given Where
    Biography and career Exhibitions Exhibition titles are given where these are known. Much of the original information is from Peter Bird’s biographical account, which has been added to where more material has come to light. Catalogues, leaflets and pamphlets relating to some of the exhibitions mentioned can be found in the V&A archive: V&A AAD 1997/18. All exhibitions are in the U.K unless otherwise mentioned. One-person exhibitions are mentioned, otherwise references are to group shows, which means that Skiöld, at the most, may have exhibited only 2/3 works each time. In the main catalogue, exhibitions of named works are listed where these are known, based on information in exhibition lists and catalogues.1 Skiöld’s first significant one-person exhibition in the U.K was at the Curwen Gallery in 1968. Education and early career Skiöld was born in Stockholm, 18 March 1923. She came from a wealthy family who were partners in a shipbrokers firm: Skiöld & Lundberg AB. She was the eldest of 4 surviving children and had 2 brothers and one sister. She grew up in Stockholm and Saltsjöbaden, an elegant seaside town, 20km South-East of Stockholm, on the outskirts of which, her family had a country house. She attended the Saltsjöbaden Samskola and went on to study at the Tekniska Skolan, Stockholm (now the Konstfackskolan - University College of Arts, Crafts and Design), enrolling on the 1st September 1942. She attended for 2 years in the Lower School, but did not complete her studies in the Higher School (3 years).

She retired in 1978 though the gallery has continued under different aegis. In 1981 she was awarded an honorary degree by the University of Leeds and in the summer of 1984 through the timely intervention of Mr Stephen Chaplin of the University's Department of Fine Art, she most kindly agreed to give the accumulated archive of her galleries up to the date of her retirement to the Brotherton Library.

  • Press Release John Loker Six Decades
    PRESS RELEASE JOHN LOKER 82 Kingsland Road SIX DECADES London E2 8DP T: +44 (0)20 7920 7777 18 September - 27 October 2018 [email protected] www.flowersgallery.com Flowers Gallery is delighted to announce a retrospective exhibition by British artist John Loker, marking the occasion of the artist’s 80th birthday.The show coincides with a survey exhibition taking place at Cartwright Hall Art Gallery, Bradford, and a new monograph written by Ben Lewis, published by Elephant. Described by Ben Lewis as “one of modern Britain’s most original, free-thinking and category-defying artists”, Loker has produced works of art across many different media in the past six decades. The exhibition explores Loker’s stylistically-varied approach to image-making, from minimal painting and photography in the 1970s to expressive gestural paintings from the 1990s to the present day, sculptural constructions, and works on paper from across his career. The exhibition begins with an example of Loker’s Blue Cathedral, 1988, Oil on canvas, 300 x 351 cm early semi-abstract paintings from the 1960s, fusing elements of Pop Art and the crisp shapes of hard-edge abstraction. Loker’s initial explorations of colour, shape and form took a new direction with a series of collages, photographs, paintings, and fibreglass wall-mounted constructions entitled Horizons, (exhibited at the ICA in 1970), which centred around the perception of space, focusing on objects in the distance as though seen on the horizon. Works on view include the wall-mounted fibreglass and resin Two Section Horizontal (1969); and the painting Six Horizons I (1972), which demonstrates Loker’s minimal approach to colour and shape during this period.

The dissertation draws attention to Power’s unusual method of collecting which was characterised by his buying of work in quantity, considering it in depth and at leisure in his own home, and only then deciding on what to keep or discard. Because of the auto-didactic nature of his education in contemporary art, Power acquired work from a wide cross section of artists and sculptors in order to interrogate the paintings in his own mind. He paid particular attention to the works of Nicolas de Stael, Jean Dubuffet, Asger Jorn, Sam Francis, Barnett Newman, Ellsworth Kelly, Francis Picabia, William Turnbull and Howard Hodgkin.
