SUMMARY:Pete Hoida
DESCRIPTION:Gallery 11 is currently home to an exhibition of work by Birkenhead-born artist Pete Hoida (1944-2023). \nThe paintings of Birkenhead-born Hoida are known for strong colour relationships alongside tonal subtlety and a unique approach to textures. Hoida studied Landscape Architecture followed by Art School at Hammersmith\, priory to graduating from the extended diploma course at Goldsmiths. His work has been authoritatively endorsed in essays by Mel Gooding and Chris Stephens\, and is well regarded by his peers. Hoida lived and worked in Stroud\, for over 40 years in the same hillside studio. \nThe Williamson has acquired his painting ‘Uisghe’ for our collections\, but all other paintings currently on display are for sale (however\, please note that the are not eligible for the Own Art Scheme). \nPlease note this exhibition may not be accessible when meetings are in progress. \nOwn Art

SUMMARY:David Clapham: The River Runs Through
DESCRIPTION:Clapham’s recent work has been inspired by views of places he has lived in London and Portugal. These paintings explore the sense of how the landscape dominates the everyday experiences of life in these places\, united by the common theme of the river. \nTwo views in particular dominate these current works. Clapham’s studio in central Portugal\, where all of these works have been made over the past three years\, overlooks the Ceira valley. The density of the mountainous forests contrasts with the views from Clapham’s recent London residence in Canary Wharf\, a severe built environment of its high quality of marble\, granite\, and glass. These two contrasting views have\, in their separate ways\, both dominated Clapham’s recent lived experience. With canvases divided into full-scale windows the views they represent are divided\, sliced into contrasting images\, yet eventually reconciled. In this way Clapham explores how combinations of colours and textures may trigger unlooked-for emotional responses. \nThe most recent work combines these images with the black-and-white news coverage of the Ukrainian conflict that has dominated the news cycle in recent years. \n

SUMMARY:Going To The Match On Tour
DESCRIPTION:Going to the Match\, painted in 1953\, is LS Lowry’s best-known and most popular picture. Although he painted football-themed scenes before and after this date it is Going to the Match which has become iconic – an enduring representation of what match day means to fans. \nThe 1953 work shows fans arriving for a Bolton Wanderers game at their former home\, Burnden Park. The painting’s iconic status has been recognised and loved by visitors of all ages: especially those who love football and those who celebrate this quintessentially Northern experience. \nThis hugely important and much-loved work of art had been on public display at The Lowry\, Salford since it opened in 2000\, courtesy of a loan by the then owners the Professional Footballers Association (PFA). Following a high-profile campaign\, Going to the Match was purchased by The Lowry in Salford for The Lowry Collection at the Modern British & Irish Art Sale at Christie’s in London in October 2022\, thanks to the generous support of The Law Family Charitable Foundation. The painting returned to public display at The Lowry in November 2022 as part of Salford’s Lowry Collection and The Lowry is now working with galleries and venues across the North West to ensure that the piece can be enjoyed by the widest possible audience across the region. Supported by a £95\,000 grant from Arts Council England through its National Lottery Project Grants programme and additional support from the Sir Bobby Charlton Foundation\, the tour will mean this iconic painting can be enjoyed by the widest possible audience across the region. \nThe painting is being displayed at the Williamson alongside other works by Lowry and a selection of pictures from the Williamson’s collection which place Lowry in the wider context of painting in Northern England in the mid 20th Century. \n#LowryGTTM \nImage Credit: LS Lowry\, Going to the Match\, 1953\n© The Estate of L.S.

SUMMARY:Mallory & Irvine – 100 Years
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT \n2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the first British attempt to reach the summit of Mount Everest. But did you know that both George Mallory and Andrew ‘Sandy’ Irvine both spent time in their childhoods in Birkenhead? \nTo commemorate this anniversary we will welcome Julie Summers to the Williamson for a talk on Sandy Irvine\, his life at Park Road South\, Birkenhead\, and his role in this historic expedition. Julie will speak about Sandy’s early life in Birkenhead\, his rowing career and his successful crossing of the Norwegian Island of Spitsbergen before focusing on the 1924 Mount Everest expedition. There is no mystery in British mountaineering more famous than the story of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine. Julie will give background to the early Everest expeditions (1921\, 1922) before zooming in on 1924 and sharing her thoughts on whether or not the two Birkenhead men reached the summit of the world’s highest mountain 29 years before Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary. \nJulie Summers is Sandy Irvine’s great niece and biographer. She started working on the 1924 Mount Everest expedition over 25 years ago and published Fearless on Everest: The Quest for Sandy Irvine in 2000. It remains in print. Since then she has written 13 more works on non-fiction\, worked a stint as the Chairman of the Mountain Heritage Trust and is currently the Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Kellogg College\, Oxford.
