Morgan Stanley Late at Somerset House with The Courtauld, 19th April – The life of the Bloomsbury Group: their art, textiles and rugs

Join us in the Art Cafe at Somerset House, London, on Wednesday 19th April  between 18:30 – 19:30 to hear about the lives of the Bloomsbury Group, some of 20th century’s most radical artists, writers and thinkers, that include Duncan Grant, Vanessa Bell and Lytton Strachey. Under the direction of art critic Roger Fry, the Omega Workshops was born, combining his utopian commercial vision with an avant-garde ambition.

Find out how Christopher Farr has worked with original Bloomsbury Group artwork from the Courtauld Gallery’s important collection of Omega Workshops designs; now available to purchase as limited edition hand made rugs. From selecting the designs, to translating the artworks, Christopher Farr utilised their extensive experience of working with artists and their estates, including Peter Doig and Terry Frost.

Be part of the conversation with Alexandra Gerstein, Curator of Sculpture and Decorative Arts at the Courtauld Gallery, and Dr Darren Clarke, Head of Research and Collections at Charleston and Matthew Bourne, co-founder of Christopher Farr.
