Alice Strang, Associate Director of Lyon & Turnbull fine art auctioneers, will discuss the life-time and posthumous collecting of Joan Eardley’s work in the public realm. This provides insight into the development of her career and reputation, as well as shedding light on the methods and patterns of collecting contemporary and British art by the country’s public museums, galleries and beyond.

Alice will take us on a journey from the Highlands to Hampshire via Eardley’s tremendous paintings, involving the Ministry of Works, the BBC and an Oxford college for starters.
