New to Top Ten Paintings: Frank Bowling

A painter I had known just a little something about before- and not having seen his show at IMMA in Dublin recently, regretting this very much now. Thanks to a studio visit by Katie Lindsay today, she pointed me in his direction, with an upcoming show at Tate Britain to look forward to. Top Ten Paintings to the right links to a lovely interview in which the artist talks about Mirror, 1966.
