Limited edition, numbered  hand screen print, 50cm x 40cm supplied backed and in a cello sleeve.

I wanted to make an artwork of this building ever since I rediscovered it on an excellent North London Midcentury walking tour. I used to pass it in the 90’s as it was so dilapidated never knew what a historical and interesting building it was. It’s since been restored, Grade I listed with an excellent little gallery/museum reflecting its fascinating history. My artwork focuses on its incredible lines and its Bauhaus legacy with my choice of clean lines and strong primary / Bauhaus colour palette.

The first modernist flats designed by Jack and Molly Pritchard (who also lived there) were instrumental in helping emigres from a pre-war Europe. During this period of artistic revolution it housed the Bauhaus founders/ teachers / designers : Walter Gropius; Marcel Breuer, and László Moholy-Nagy, who are now commemorated with an English Heritage Blue Plaque. An NKVD spy, Agatha Christie and so many more notable figures enjoyed this sanctuary and creative hub

Bespoke mounted in a 50cm x 40cm black frame.
