Small Grants Scheme 19 Note from the Editor: I would like once again to thank all those for contributing to this Newsletter and I want to quote from a letter from one of our Members, Wendy Watson, which sums it up: ‘I felt that I had to congratulate all concerned with the production of the Summer newsletter. The contents were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it...I do miss my contact and outings with the YGT but the excellent newsletter helps enormously to keep in touch’. Wednesday 20th May, 2009 - Harewood House near Leeds YGT is hosting a special Study Day in the historic Stables Courtyard at Harewood. This will be a unique opportunity to learn about the early varieties of Auriculas and Tulips which were among the popular Florists’ flowers shown to perfection during the 18th and 19th centuries. Both the Ancient Society of York Florists and the Wakefield and North of England Tulip Society will be represented. Anne Wilkinson, author of The Passion for Pelargoniums 2007 is going to lecture on the development of the Pelargonium as a Florist’s Flower and Trevor Nicholson, Head Gar- dener at Harewood and recipient of last year’s Professional Gardener of the Year award, will talk about the plants used in the famous Barry Parterre at Harewood. Afterwards we shall have the opportunity to explore the beautiful Himalayan rock garden (officially to be opened on May 15th after its restoration) at a perfect time of year when many rare plants will be at their best. Price £65 to include parking, entrance to the gardens, refreshments through- out the day and a delicious two course lunch. This really is a day not to be missed!

  • The Launch of a Major New Cultural Biennial for Yorkshire the Main Focus of Activity at Harewood House in 2019
    21 January 2019 THE LAUNCH OF A MAJOR NEW CULTURAL BIENNIAL FOR YORKSHIRE THE MAIN FOCUS OF ACTIVITY AT HAREWOOD HOUSE IN 2019 “Why are we so interested in craft today?” is the question the inaugural Harewood Biennial seeks to answer when it launches at Harewood House in March 2019 and opens a vibrant new season at the Yorkshire stately home. The first exhibition of the Harewood Biennial is Useful/Beautiful: Why Craft Matters, which aims to challenge preconceptions, spark interest and inspire debate about the role craft can play in culture, identity and society. At a time when there is a surge of interest in craft, (from the supermarket to the catwalk) there is also confusion – is it a product or a process? Is it always handmade? Is it just a marketing buzzword? Visitors to Harewood, Leeds, will experience a visual treat across the House by some of the most exciting British-based makers of the moment. Each invited to interpret a different room, the twenty- six exhibitors work both nationally and internationally and span fashion, textiles, woodwork, glass, metalwork, furniture, papercraft and leather. Highlighting Yorkshire’s wealth of skilled talent, six of the twenty-six exhibitors showcased are based in Yorkshire. Distinguished names include Wakefield-based paper artist and illustrator Andy Singleton, Sheffield-born ceramicist Lena Peters and Whitby glass maker, Effie Burns, rubbing shoulders alongside statement printmaker Anthony Burrill, Welsh sustainable denim-makers Hiut Denim, whose jeans are worn by Meghan Markle, Freed dance shoes and the Emily Blunt-sporting Fox Umbrellas. Curated by design critic Hugo Macdonald, the exhibition crosses generations and disciplines, mixes classic and contemporary and uses Harewood House as a platform to showcase and question the very definition of skill and craft today.

Built by Charles Broderick between 1853 and 1858, it features a facade of giant columns supporting an elaborate domed tower. The richly decorated interior is equally spectacular, with statues by Matthew Noble sitting by Martyn M aka Martyx beneath ornate plaster ceilings. As well as being of great historical and architectural interest, the Town Hall is one of the city's premier music venues, hosting events including Lunchtime Organ Music and the International Concert Season. +44 113 224 3801 (Box Office) www.leedstownhall.co.uk/ The Headrow, Leeds Park Square "A Perfect Place To Get Away From It All" At the end of the 18th Century this elegant square was the most fashionable and salubrious residential area of Leeds.

    THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEEDS ART FUND SUPPORTING LEEDS ART GALLERIES SINCE 1912 NEW SERIES ISSUE 17 ACQUISITIONS, COLLECTIONS, SPRING 2021 REVIEWS AND EVENTS How the Artist was led to the Study of Nature by Andy Holden - Installation at Leeds Art Gallery. www.leedsartfund.org Photo Courtesy of Simon Warner, June 2018. RECENT ACQUISITION IMPORTANT DRAWINGS BY THOMAS CHIPPENDALE SENIOR AND JUNIOR The Chippendale Society has recently acquired six previously unknown drawings attributed to Thomas Chippendale senior and junior. The key to their attribution is provided by a drawing for a lantern pedestal, which is the design drawing for a set of six supplied by Chippendale to Harewood House in 1774. The drawings are by two different hands. Two are thought to date from about 1760 and are typical of Thomas Chippendale senior’s free-flowing style with its use of delicate washes to suggest shadow and perspective. The other four are by a different hand and can confidently be attributed to Thomas Chippendale junior (the first to be discovered) on the basis of strong similarities with his engravings published in 1779. These are the first Chippendale drawings of any kind in the fully mature neo-Classical style of the 1770s. Chippendale junior was first recorded as active in his father’s firm in 1766, aged 17, and his first signed drawing is of a neo-Classical tablet, dated 1772. However, it has long been assumed that he did not assume a significant role until c.1775-6. The new drawings demonstrate that Chippendale junior was involved much earlier than previously thought.
