Tales from the Colony Room : Art and Bohemia

22 Apr-6 Jun 2020

Dellasposa Gallery
London W2 2SD

Overview

For more than fifty years this notorious Soho drinking den attracted some of the most important names in British art, from Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud to Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin. The exhibition will feature works by Bacon, Freud, Hirst and Emin, along with pieces by Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, Sir Peter Blake, Patrick Caulfield, Frank Auerbach, Keith Coventry and Langlands and Bell, and many other key modern and contemporary British artists. Curated by the artist and author Darren Coffield, the exhibition will feature works by artists dating from 1948 up to when it closed in 2008, and coincides with the book launch of a new biography of the club by Darren Coffield entitled 'Tales from the Colony Room: Soho’s Lost Bohemia.'
