The Fashion and Textile Museum in Bermondsey, London, has just opened a retrospective of the work of Kaffee Fassett, a celebration of the work of one of the great practitioners of contemporary craft. This exhibition, the first in London since Kaffe Fassett’s record-breaking show at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1988, features over 100 works within a dramatic installation designed by Sue Timney. Kaffe’s ability to blend pattern, texture and colour has won him a dedicated following of enthusiasts.
Kaffe Fassett - A Life in Colour
Fashion and Textile Museum
22 March - 29 June 2013
Appropriately in this Jubilee and Olympics year, Tate Britain opens an exhibition of 150 photographs of London life by some of the biggest names in photography, dating from 1930 to 1960. This period of immense change was documented by photographers from all over the world – a familiar haunt to some, an exotic challenge to others.
Artists represented in the show include Bill Brandt, Henri-Cartier Bresson, Bruce Davidson, Elliot Erwitt, Robert Frank, Marketa Luskacova, Dora Maar, Irving Penn and Willy Ronis. Above is Milon Novotny’s shot of Middlesex Market. The exhibition runs at Tate Britain from 27th July - 16th September.
