MOMA2 in Edinburgh

One of my favourite (permanent) exhibits, the Paolozzi Studio explanatory text in alt text and of course the caff.

A very crowded art space with a bed!


The Paolozzi Studio
This is a recreation of the two
main London
studios
where Eduardo Paolozzi lived and worked.
Paolozzi's gift
to the National Galleries of
Scotland consists of three thousand sculptures
(mostly plaster casts) and moulds, two thousand
prints and drawings, three thousand books and a
large collection of the artist's tools and materials,
toys, periodicals, scrapbooks, manuscripts,
photographs, and slides. The studio
reconstruction, conceived and carried out by the
National Galleries of Scotland in collaboration
with the artist and his assistant, contains most of
this material. The large studio table supports a
variety of media for sculpture, e.g. wax, plaster,
and bronze. The work stations on either side of the
entrance show paper-cutting for image-gathering
and collage. The space below the sleeping
platform houses the bulk of the artist's library, a
plan chest of prints, and an area for making
scrapbooks. The wooden boxes stacked around the
walls are full of small plaster elements that are
collaged together to make composite sculptures
and installations. Examples of Paolozzi's home-
made furniture, e.g. stools and plinths, are
interspersed throughout the room.

We had the chance to visit the ‘Women in Revolt’ exhibition at #MOMA in #Edinburgh yesterday - well worth a trip iff you have the time.
