About

This large-scale exhibition explores the work of the celebrated Scottish artist Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, from her early work based on the Cornish landscape through to the abstract canvases she made during the 1960s and early 1970s. Highlights include Barns-Graham’s striking depictions of the Grindelwald Glacier in Switzerland. The exhibition features around seventy paintings and drawings and has been organised in collaboration with the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust.
