Rolf Harris 'A Life In Art' - New Limited Edition Prints and Art Book

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 02:10:00 GMT

The Enid Hutt Gallery is excited to announce it will be showcasing ‘A Life in Art’, a new collection of paintings, drawings and sculpture from Rolf Harris CBE on Date. This year sees Rolf’s 65th year in art, and this important exhibition celebrates the life and work of one of the nation’s most popular and well known artists.

In addition to concentrating on this collection and fulfilling numerous entertainment engagements, Rolf has spent the last few months working on a major art book , also entitled ‘A Life in Art’. This much-anticipated retrospective and personal memoir has also been produced as an exclusive collector’s box set, the book is encased in beautiful presentation box and is accompanied by two Limited Editions signed and numbered by the man himself.

Acknowledged as a genuine modern master and the country’s best–loved artist, Rolf has been awarded the CBE and has won many accolades both for his artwork and for his contribution to the entertainment industry. His versatile talents have won him immense popularity on gallery walls and Glastonbury stages. Always a huge favourite on television, his famous BBC1 TV series ‘Rolf on Art’ gained the highest ever viewing figures for a programme on the visual arts, topping all previous programmes by over six million viewers.

In 1992 Rolf was named the world's most famous artist in a massive poll conducted by the London artMart. Last year his enduring popularity was underlined by a survey called ‘What the British really think about art today’ published in the Daily Telegraph in which he featured ahead of Damian Hirst.

Everyone is invited to join the Enid Hutt Gallery for an exclusive opportunity to invest in a piece of artwork from this landmark collection. If you would like to view or buy a particular piece please contact the gallery.

We've changed the way we look

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:18:00 GMT

We are delighted to announce the completion of our brand new showroom in Kirkcaldy, Fife.

Since turning 20 earlier this year the Enid Hutt Gallery celebrated with a complete refurbishment including an extension to our large showroom space, and the launch of our second website - Mirror-Shop.co.uk

Since starting the business in 1990 the gallery space has grown dramatically; doubling in size within 5 years of opening and until recently housed an onsite workshop. Recent years have seen an increase in demand for both services and showroom space necessitating a larger workshop. The decision was taken to relocate the workshop to an industrial unit resulting in 60% more gallery space and allowing for larger contract framing work to be undertaken as well as customers bespoke orders in which the gallery specialises.

Customers will see a dramatic change to the gallery space which features a stunning black and white interior warmed by the rich bamboo flooring to contrast the vivid colours of the art work. Whilst contemporary, the gallery will preserve the relaxed environment and offer additional services such as local and international artist exhibitions and corporate events.

Not only have we changed the gallery image in store but also online. You may have started to see our new branding on packaging tape and receipts before we officially launched the new logo.

Our new branding is our message to you, to authenticate our contemporary image with traditional values whilst bringing you the very best in art, mirrors and framing setting the mark for other galleries in Scotland and cementing its reputation as Scotland’s leading art, framing and online gallery.
