Works by the Bloomsbury group will go on loan and up for sale at an exhibition hosted by a London auction house.
The event at Sotheby’s will celebrate art and literature by the Bloomsbury group, with works for sale alongside loans from the collection at Charleston, near Firle.
Radical Modernity: From Bloomsbury To Charleston, a private selling and loan exhibition in collaboration with Charleston, will highlight the “indefatigable spirit of the Bloomsbury Group” across paintings, drawings, furniture, ceramics and literature by Vanessa Bell, Duncan Grant, Roger Fry, Virginia Woolf and Henry Lamb.
As part of the exhibition, the historic farmhouse will be loaning some of its most significant pieces, many not usually on public view.
They include recent acquisitions made as part of Charleston’s 50 for 50 campaign, a hunt for the best Bloomsbury works still in private collections to help mark the forthcoming 50th anniversary.
In 2030, Charleston will celebrate 50 years since the charity that saved it was established.
The Bloomsbury group was a circle of intellectuals including artists and writers in the 20th century. Charleston, the home and studio of painters Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, became one of the hubs where the group met.
The Sotheby's exhibition is free and runs from November 9 to 26.
Best,
