The Wolverhampton Art Gallery will be displaying 30 works of art by Evelyn de Morgan in October. The loan is an attempt to recreate a solo exhibition the artist had in the city back in 1907 and 'has been curated to closely resemble the original'.
According to the BBC:
It will feature oil paintings, a plaster cast sculpture, sketches, drawings and newly-painted artworks that recreate three of her original paintings which were lost in a 1991 fire. ...
Jean McMeakin, chair of the De Morgan Trustee Board, said she was delighted to bring the exhibition to Wolverhampton.
“The exhibition not only illuminates her talent, her inspirations and her influences but in so doing, her inner thoughts, social and ethical values are also revealed,” she said.
The loan will run from 19th October 2024 until 9th March 2025.
