‘Whispers of Winter, Wimbledon Common’ by Katharine Rowe

A Brush with the Past, created in collaboration with Common Works Gallery, features works by ten contemporary artists who have each drawn inspiration from a work of art relating to Wimbledon Common in the museum’s collection.

 

The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see works from the Museum’s art collection, which are usually stored and carefully preserved due to their delicate nature and lack of display space. By pairing these works with contemporary reinterpretations, the exhibition vividly connects past and present, offering fresh perspectives on the timeless beauty of Wimbledon Common’s landscape.

 

Visitors will be encouraged to respond to the paintings themselves, and to visit the Common afterwards to make their own sketches.

 

Where & When: Wimbledon Museum, 31st January to 30th March, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only, from 2:30 to 5 pm.

 

Booking/£: No ticket required. Free entry. Please note opening hours above.
