To complement Estorick Collection Uncut, the museum displayed a selection of new works by artist Paul Coldwell. Exhibited alongside the Estorick’s holding of etchings and drawings by Morandi, Coldwell’s prints, sculptures and poems were created in London under lockdown conditions between 2020 and 2021.
Giorgio Morandi is one of the most famous and popular Italian painters of the twentieth century, best known for his contemplative still life paintings of familiar objects such as bottles, vases, jugs and boxes, painted in subtle combinations of colour and a narrow range of tones. Yet his work also contains radical ideas about the nature of picture-making and artistic practice that have made it consistently relevant to subsequent generations of artists.
