The centrepiece of this exhibition, 'Flaming June' has been loaned from its usual home, the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico. Professor Liz Prettejohn who has also contributed to the exhibition catalogue, commented: 'This is an extraordinary opportunity to see Flaming June in the studio environment where it was created more than a hundred years ago.'
Liz's PhD student Ciarán Rua O'Neill who has been working on the exhibition since April this year as Curatorial Research Assistant at Leighton House added 'It was an incredible experience to assist in the research for the exhibition and share in the fascinating new discoveries that were made'.
