Pond on Show

The Pond by Lowry

LOWRY’s painting THE POND was used as Harold Wilson’s Downing Street Christmas Card.

This huge painting has been brought out of the Tate Store for a special showing in a brand new Lowry exhibition at The Djanogly Gallery, The Lakeside Arts Centre, University Park, Nottingham.

Margy Kinmonth’s film “Looking for Lowry” was screened there this week.

The film can also be viewed on British Airways long haul flights, a bit of a first for Lowry who never travelled outside the UK.
