Gerard Stamp supports the Minster Appeal with his work
Published: on 16th October 2006 by Alix Peacock in Press Releases
An exciting collection of Gerard Stamp's architectural paintings will be displayed in the Western Crypt of the Minster from 18th to 31st October 2006. Some of the works have been produced in support of the Minster's Development Campaign for the East End of the Cathedral.
Gerard Stamp's work, produced using watercolours and charcoal, include several views of York Minster. Author and broadcaster, Dan Cruickshank, has written of Stamp's inspiration behind the collection of works, suggesting that his works all ask the question 'How can the essence of the beauty of ancient architecture be captured?'. The artist's other subjects from further a field include vistas of Ely and Rome. The works to be displayed in the Minster have previously been part of Mr Stamp's popular solo exhibition in London.
In support of the Minster's Development Campaign, The Grapevine Art Gallery, which is promoting the exhibition, has generously agreed to donate a proportion of the proceeds from sales of his work, to the appeal. Fine quality art posters and cards of his work will be on sale in the Minster Gift Shop from Tuesday 17th October.
