That’s why we are increasingly appointing artists, undertaking commissions, engagingwith local community projects and collaborating with designers and architects to enhance our developments.”
This year, Art London’s Special Exhibition is dedicated to the Leighton House Museum, courtesy of the Royal Borough ofKensington and Chelsea.
The museum is currently closed for refurbishment until April 2010 and during this period the collection has been on loan to a publicinstitution in Munich, Germany. Frederic, Lord Leighton was one of the leading artists, of the Victorian Age, who re-inventedancient themes.
Kensington & Chelsea councillor Nick Paget-Brown, who is Cabinet member for Leisure, said: “It is good news that people cancontinue enjoying such great examples of a leading Victorian artist as Lord Leighton while our museum is closed. We are carrying outsignificant restoration work at Leighton House and it is gratifying that during this time Art London has asked to display some of thepictures that can usually be seen at Leighton House.”
