1) ‘Summer Sale’ – A Fundraising Show for Liverpool Book Art
This is a show of paintings and prints curated by two local art collectors, Simon Ryder and Steve Walkinshaw. The works are all ones acquired for their personal collections over many years, but it is now time for them to move on to new owners. All funds raised will go to support the activities of Liverpool Book Art, helping to sustain local arts activity.
The pictures include the results of supporting the local art scene, through purchases at degree shows, open studios, fairs and galleries. Most of the works were purchased direct from the artist – though the names of several of the artists are now lost. In addition to a wide range of contemporary works, the show includes a selection of prints from the 17th to the 20th centuries. There are approximately 30 framed works and 40 unframed. Size range: from 1200x700mm to 50x50mm!
There will be bargains! Don’t miss out. Purchase and take away!
All works can be purchased through Editions Framing while the exhibition is on (and the dates may be extended). Images of the works will be available to view on-line, via Liverpool Book Art’s website and Instagram, and to purchase using PayPal (via liverpoolbookart@gmail.com). However, framed works must be picked up by the purchaser. Unframed works may be shipped at extra cost.
2) Contemporary Book Art
Simon is the Director of Liverpool Book Art, and he has put together a select display of book art works to illustrate the quality and variety of work created in this field. These works come from Simon’s personal collection, so none of them are for sale!
