This exhibition marks the 25th John Moores Contemporary Painting Prize and 50 years since the first John Moores Liverpool exhibition was held at the Walker Art Gallery in 1957. As in previous years, this exhibition profiles the best established and emerging artists from across the UK. Today’s John Moores prizewinners and exhibitors will be the future stars of the art world.
To
mark the importance of these 50 years of
activity, we are this year staging a related
display of previous John Moores prizewinners.
This includes important works acquired for
the collection such as those by Jack Smith
and David Hockney and, more recently, by
artists including Michael Raedecker and
Peter Davies. This year’s first prizewinner has
been purchased for the Walker Art Gallery’s
collection and joins this distinguished group.
The John Moores 25 exhibition catalogue is a comprehensive guide to the prizewinners, shortlisted entries and the history of the competition. It is available for £9.95 plus £2 p+p to UK addresses. Packing and airmail costs to Europe are £5, and £9 to the rest of the world. Surface mail costs to the rest of world are £4.50. All enquiries and orders should be sent via our contact system.
