About
Having recently completed an important catalogue ‘The Bishop Otter Art Collection: A Celebration’, Gill Clarke will discuss the collection’s exciting works and rich history, including the post-war context in which it was began, the philosophy behind it and the challenges it faced.
Professor Clarke is Visiting Professor at the University of Chichester and Guest Curator at the University’s Otter Gallery and St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery, Lymington. She has recently worked with Swindon Museum and Art Gallery’s curator Sophie Cummings on a stunning exhibition ‘Women Artists: Power and Presence’.
