The Ghislaine Howard Collection at Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce
Over 100 paintings by Ghislaine are on view throughout the glorious spaces of this iconic Victorian building in what has been described by Thom Hetherington as a ‘glorious take-over of a very (Greater) Mancunian space melding commerce and creativity’. Thanks to the wonderful Al and Al, Creative Directors of Haigh Hall for co-curating the magnificent ground floor rooms.
10 Boroughs / Paintings at GMCC
This initiative is a unique collaboration between Ghislaine and Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, supported by the Royal Society of Arts. Each year, Ghislaine and her husband, the art historian Michael Howard, will chose a work of art from one of the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester that resonates with contemporary concerns.
Ghislaine and Michael are very excited that Bolton Art Gallery have agreed to be partners in the next stage of 10 Boroughs / 10 Paintings. The new installation at Elliot House on Deansgate will centre upon a ‘conversation’ with Barbara Hepworth’s beautiful drawing of ‘The Magnifying Glass’ one of the eight magnificent ‘Fenestration Series of Drawings’ that she made in 1948 that is part of their collection. More news soon.
