Congratulations to the Garden Museum and its director Christopher Woodward, who, with only ten days notice after seeing it in an auction catalogue, successfully raised £127,000 to buy the above 'Black Gardener' (dated to 1905) by Harold Gilman. The amount needed was more than twice the upper estimate. Our new best friends, the HLF, contributed £60,000. Well done to everyone involved. More details here.
