Build it, and they will come
After Feb 2011 we became the shop with no gallery. Now we are the shop with no street. Confused?
Notes
Creepy Spidey
On a recent holiday in Sydney I visited the Museum of Contemporary Art. With its stunning location over-looking the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, the sculpture terrace on the top floor is a great place to enjoy a coffee and slice of cake.

Eileen Mayo Skaters
Two prints from early in Eileen Mayo’s career show the strength of her natural ability. Eileen was nineteen and studying at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, London, when she made the wood engraving Skaters. She made Turkish Bath a few years later in response to an invitation to put work in the Second Exhibition of British Lino-Cuts at the Redfern Gallery, London. Her invitation came from Claude Flight, the linocut’s principal champion, who reportedly instructed her on the technique over the telephone. She had met Flight, a teacher at the Grosvenor School of Art, while working there in 1929 as a life-class model.
