Mary Delany at the Serpentine Gallery

Hoy aprovechando el solecito sali a correr al parque. De paso entre en la Serpentine Gallery a ver la ultima exhibicion, Rosemary Trockel, A Cosmos, 13 Feb - 7 Abr.  Y cual no seria mi sorpresa cuando me encontre alli con tres collages de Mary Delany, una artista del siglo XVIII que descubri al leer su biografia "Paper Garden". Fumaria , Parnassia and Primula. Tambien tenia Ms Trockel unos cuadros de inspiracion lanera, de lo mas moderno y facil de recrear, unas tiras de lana de colores a tono, parecidos a estos que encontre en unos libros de manualidades de los 70s que tengo por casa.

Today I went for a run in the park. Once there I popped into the Serpentine Gallery to check their latest exhibition by Rosemarie Trockel ,   (13 Feb - 7 Apr).  To my surprise I found they had three collages by Mary Delany as part of the exhibition, They had Fumaria, Parnassia and Primula. I am a fan of Mrs Delany ever since I read The Paper Garden a book about her life and work. I also found some more crafty inspiration from some wool canvases on display by Ms Trockel, which were very similar to these ones  (see photo above) from  a 1970s crafts book.
