In Conversation: Through The Sculptors’ Lens
Waddington Custot Galleries, in collaboration with David Grob, is pleased to announce an exhibition presenting over fifty vintage photographs from the studios of Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957), and Henry Moore (1898-1986). Opening on 22 May 2015, Rodin, Brancusi, Moore: Through the Sculptor’s Lens will focus on the importance and prominence of photography within the practice of each of these pre-eminent sculptors. Dating from the end of the nineteenth- to the late twentieth-century, the photographs capture a wide-ranging, often iconic, group of sculptures, including works which were never cast, or have since been lost or destroyed. Taken from the artists’ own viewpoint, these photographs provide an intimate insight into their ground-breaking work.
Waddington Galleries 11 Cork Street London W1S 3LT from 6:30 – 7:30pm

Amidst the flux of contemporary life, value is questioned daily. Alongside growing consumer culture, funding cuts and ever-increasing technological possibility, is our ability to influence and be influenced by the art world also shifting?
From the perspectives of practising artists, gallerists, activists and academics this symposium will trace the parameters of our new world values. Who determines value? What value does art have? What is value in the art world?
Wimbledon College of Art, Merton Hall Road , London, SW19 3QA from 12noon – 5:00pm
