Standpoint Gallery
London N1 6HD

Overview

Lesley HIlling and the Boshier Collective bring the work of architect and reclusive artist, Joseph Boshier (1898 – 1982) to the public’s attention. On September 29th 1948 the first two floors of Chesney Court buckled and the ten storey concrete structure collapsed leaving three dead and forty seven injured. Joseph Boshier was a successful London architect with several impressive projects behind him - now his career was in ruins. On his death in 1982 his north London home revealed a staggering trove of intricate wooden sculptures and a mass of drawings and writings.
