SUMMARY:Contemporary & Post War British Art Auction
DESCRIPTION:You can bid online today at the-saleroom.com/gainsborough \nLEADING ARTISTS from across Britain are getting behind our £8.5 million project to create a National Centre for Thomas Gainsborough – giving art lovers and collectors a unique opportunity to bid for contemporary and post-war paintings\, prints and sculpture rarely seen in the market place. \nThe Contemporary & Post War British Art Sale will feature around 130 lots donated from over 125 estates and studios that have pledged their support towards Gainsborough’s House. \nThe works represent some of Britain’s greatest and most inspiring artists including Edward Bawden\, Francis Davison\, Anthony Eyton\, Antony Gormley\, Maggi Hambling\, Clive Head\, John Hoyland\, David Inshaw\, Allen Jones\, Sarah Lucas\, Margaret Mellis\, Julian Opie and William Pye. Everyone is welcome to view selected works for free from 14 – 19 October. \nMaggi Hambling CBE\, a Patron of Gainsborough’s House who spear-headed the event along with art critic Andrew Lambirth said: “Since galleries couldn’t exist without artists\, it’s fitting that artists have responded so wholeheartedly to supporting a new National Centre for Thomas Gainsborough\, one of England’s greatest.” \nIn 2016\, we were delighted to learn that the Heritage Lottery Fund had earmarked £4.73 million for the renovation and redisplay of the historic house and the construction of a new\, landmark three-storey structure with four new galleries – a showcase Gainsborough gallery\, a landscape studio with panoramic views over Sudbury\, a community gallery and a major exhibition gallery/performance space. \n \nAs part of a far-reaching fundraising campaign to secure over £3 million in match-funding still needed to safeguard the project\, we hope this prestigious event will help close the gap on our funding targets. \nMark Bills\, Director of Gainsborough’s House\, said: “Here is a unique opportunity to bid for contemporary and post-war paintings\, prints and sculpture rarely seen in the market place and in so doing be part of this exciting and ambitious project.” \nThe Contemporary & Post War British Art Sale takes place at The Assembly Rooms\, Town Hall\, Sudbury CO10 1TL on Friday 20 October from 6.30pm – tickets £25 (including refreshments and catalogue) available from T: 01787 372958 or E: jackieb@gainsborough.org \nYou can bid online from 1 October at the-saleroom.com/gainsborough \nViewing of key works from 14 – 19 October\nFree entry all week and late night opening on Thursday 19 October until 8pm \nImage above: Maggie Hambling\, North Sea Rolling\, 2015-17\, oil on canvas\n \n

SUMMARY:Buy original works of art at our Autumn Art Fair
DESCRIPTION:This autumn\, we’re offering art lovers a fantastic opportunity to browse and buy an original work of art whilst helping to bring a major new arts venue to the county. \nOur Autumn Art Fair (14-20 October) will feature over 100 original paintings and prints donated by artists from across the UK\, to help us raise vital funds for our £8.5 million project to create a ‘National Centre for Thomas Gainsborough’. \nA special thank you to members of our Print Workshop who together have donated an extraordinary variety of work\, created in our innovative workshop – come and browse silkscreen prints\, woodcuts\, etchings\, lithoprints and more from the likes of Carl Borges\, Emma Buckmaster\, Michael Carlo\, Megan Fishpool\, Colin Gale and Bryan Whiteley. \nNoreen Grant\, Joint-Chair of Gainsborough’s House Print Workshop\, said: “This is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate the continuing pursuit and importance of printmaking in East Anglia and as practiced in all its disciplines within the House. It is also appropriate that sales of prints should help to fund the new National Centre as Gainsborough was himself a printmaker!” \nThe Fair also includes paintings by Chris Bennett\, Tyrel Broadbent\, Mark Cazalet\, Stephen Chambers RA\, Luke Elwes\, Jelly Green\, Olwen Jones\, Tessa Newcomb\, Sarah Nutley\, Graham Rust\, Gay Strutt and Julia Vezza. \nMark Bills added: “Our aim for Art Week is to close the gap on our fundraising target of a further £1.2 million by March 2018\, needed to bring this project to fruition. It’s a great challenge but we hope that Art Fair\, along with our Art Auction also taking place in Art Week\, will give all those with a love of art a unique   opportunity to bid for or buy a wonderful\, original work – whatever their budget – and in doing so be part of this exciting and ambitious project.” \nThe Autumn Art Fair takes place at the Old Labour Exchange in Weavers Lane\, Sudbury\n14-20 October: Open daily from 10am – 5pm (Sunday 11am – 5pm).\nFree entry all week and late night opening on Thursday 19 October until 8pm \nImage above: Megan Fishpool at Gainsborough’s House Print Workshop

SUMMARY:Simon Edge ‘Meet the Author’
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Suffolk launch of Simon Edge’s new book The Hopkins Conundrum. \nA local author\, Simon Edge says of the novel “much of which was written in Sudbury\, and which has an East Anglian connection because one strand focuses on a shipwreck off the coast of Harwich.” \n“The Hopkins Conundrum is wonderfully enjoyable: a masterful mash-up of contemporary literary satire and poetic erudition which had me laughing out loud and then reaching for the collected works of a now neglected Victorian poet. Prepare to be delighted” \nLiz Trenow \nAuthor information\nSimon read philosophy at Cambridge University and worked as an English teacher in the Gaza Strip and a specialist journalist on the Middle East before becoming editor of the pioneering London paper Capital Gay and then entering Fleet Street. \nA gossip columnist on the Evening Standard\, he joined the staff of the Daily Express under editor Rosie Boycott and ended up staying 15 years\, working variously as a feature writer\, obituaries editor and theatre critic. He has also written for The Times\, The Guardian\, The Independent\, the Daily Telegraph\, Private Eye\, the New Statesman and Attitude\, where he is a contributing editor. He has been a regular broadcaster on BBC Radio 5 Live. Since leaving journalism he has worked as a political spin doctor and a publicist. \nSimon was on the inaugural intake of City University’s MA in Creative Writing and subsequently taught on that course as a visiting lecturer\, well before being published as a novelist himself. \nHe lives in Greenwich with a kleptomaniac whippet called Pippin. \nRead more about Simon and his work at www.simon-edge.com

SUMMARY:James Hamilton ‘Meet the Author’
DESCRIPTION:This event is now fully booked. \nJoin us at Gainsborough’s House for the Suffolk launch of James Hamilton’s new book Gainsborough\, A Portrait \nThis exhilarating new biography – the first in decades – reveals Gainsborough in his many contexts: the easy-going Suffolk lad\, transported to the heights of fashion by a natural talent; the rake-on-the-make in London\, learning his art in the shadow of Hogarth; falling on his feet when he married a duke’s daughter with a handsome private income; the top society-portrait painter in Bath and London who earned huge sums by bringing the right people into his studio; the charming and amusing friend of George III and Queen Charlotte who nevertheless kept clear of the aristocratic embrace. \nThere has been much art history written about this chameleon of art\, but with fresh insights into original sources\, GAINSBOROUGH: A PORTRAIT transforms our understanding of this fascinating man\, and enlightens the century that bore him. \nAuthor Information\nJames Hamilton is an art and cultural historian. His books include TURNER: A LIFE\, FARADAY: THE LIFE\, shortlisted for the James Tait Black Memorial Prize\, and A STRANGE BUSINESS: MAKING ART AND MONEY IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN\, which in 2014 was named Art Book of the Year by the SUNDAY TIMES. \nHamilton was until retirement in 2013 curator of art collections and projects in Portsmouth\, Wakefield\, Sheffield\, Leeds and the University of Birmingham\, where he is a Fellow of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts. \nRead more about James and his books at https://www.jhhamilton.co.uk/index.htm \nFree event\nPlease be aware that places are limited\, please call to reserve a ticket
