NEW DISPLAY OPENS AT THE ANTHONY SHAW COLLECTION AT CoCA, YORK

The new display of The Anthony Shaw Collection at the Centre of Ceramic Art in York Art Gallery has just opened. Curated by Tessa Peters, this exhibit features work by many Marsden Woo Gallery artists and associated artists, including Gordon Baldwin, Bryan Illsley, Kerry Jameson, Nao Matsunaga, Sara Radstone, Alida Sayer, Martin Smith and Emma Woffenden, amongst other significant figures in British art such as Ewen Henderson and Gillian Lowndes.

'When forming his collection Shaw has made no hierarchical distinction between art forms; for him matters of sensitivity to material and creative vision have clearly been paramount, so that paintings, sculptures, textiles and souvenirs will also be prominent features of the display' - Tessa Peters
