Friday 6 November from 6 pm - launch event with the Ken Ardley Playboys.  Free Admission

The display will illustrate the themes that unite the diverse output of this British maverick, with an array of recent works made for a plethora of contexts - from international museums to public commissions.  The largest work, 'This Artist is Deeply Dangerous' (commissioned by Beaconsfield) will take pride of place in the lofty Upper space where it was painted.  This 11 meter long work is the most complex painting Bob and Roberta Smith have done to date and takes inspiration from Tennis Correspondent of the Guardian, Steve Bierley's remarkable article on the artist Louise Bourgeois.  A limited edition woodblock print made for the occasion will be available for sale.
