Richard Saltoun Gallery presents the work of experimental and influential British artist Shelagh Wakely, an artist whose international artistic connections defined her practice, yet who remains undeservedly neglected in her home country.

Curated by artist and close friend Antoni Malinowski, the exhibition follows on from her retrospective at Camden Art Centre, London, in 2014 and highlights Wakely's global relationships and collaboration with other artists, notably the Brazilian artists Lucia Nogueira and Tunga.

The exhibition will present, for the first time since its creation in 1986, Spring Snow, a floor installation made of coloured tissue paper, which will occupy the entirety of one room of the gallery.

Wakely was awarded several museum shows in the UK during her lifetime, including her solo exhibition, some encounters with reality, at the Serpentine Gallery in 1977. An exhibition three years later at Piwna 20/26, an avant-garde artist-run space in Warsaw, Poland, brought her work into an international context for the first time.

A publication with texts by Marjorie Allthorpe-Guyton, Roger Cook, Richard Deacon, Carla Guagliardi, Sarah Kent, Sharon Kivland, Catherine Lampert, Anna Maria Leśniewska, Marysia Lewandowska, Jenni Lomax, Antoni Malinowski, and Alison Wilding will accompany the exhibition.
