The Churchill Screen: Dudley’s Lost Masterpiece

From Sat 25 Apr View Venues, Dates & Times

This fascinating exhibition, exploring The Churchill Screen, opens just a handful of months after the unveiling of one of the artwork’s conserved original panels.

Produced by artist Edward Bainbridge-Copnall for Dudley’s Churchill Shopping Precinct, the Screen was a 40-foot-long appliqué glass mosaic weighing five and a half tonnes and consisting of 17 panels. 
The new exhibition explores its complex history - from Bainbridge-Copnall’s creation of it in 1969, through to the impact of vandalism in the 1980s and its removal from public view in the 1990s. 

Archival photographs, conservation documentation, surviving fragments of the destroyed portrait, and public responses all feature in the exhibition.
