History of Art Research Seminar
In the late 1960s, the painter Winifred Nicholson (1893-1981) and the conceptual artist Li Yuan-chia (1929-1994) became friends and neighbours in small Cumbrian village of Banks. This talk proposes taking friendship as an art historical method, reflecting on the recent exhibition Making New Worlds: Li Yuan-chia & friends (co-curated with Hammad Nassar and Amy Tobin, class of 2008 at Kettle’s Yard Cambridge).
