Spring Season
Whitworth Art Gallery
To 16 June 2012.
Whitworth Art Gallery is delighted to announce its spring 2013 exhibition programme, including solo presentations of work by John Piper, Michael Landy, Nancy Holt, Richard Long, Callum Innes and Beryl Korot. Celebrating the Whitworth’s existing contemporary collection of works on paper and textiles, and the Gallery’s unique relationship to its surrounding environment as the first English gallery to be founded in a park, the spring season aims to challenge existing notions of what landscape art means today.
