Well, the book launch was a great success and I am delighted because it was a first event of its kind for the &Collective gallery.

An unexpected bonus was the arrival of art historian Geraldine Prince,  and artist George Donald from Edinburgh who together organised the Masterclass with Paolozzi.
Geraldine gave a very entertaining speech about what it was like to try to organise a man like Paolozzi.


It was good to see old friends from my days at the Glasgow Herald ( as it then was) along with new friends.

So,  thank you to everyone for making the evening such a memorable event  and to film maker Joel for recording it.

And a special thank you to publishers Kennedy & Boyd, for recording in print this moment in art history.

Paolozzi Revealed by Ann Shaw is published by Boyd & Kennedy, price £12.99 .
Available from &Collective gallery, Bridge of Allan, Fruitmarket gallery, Edinburgh, and Waterstones in Stirling . Also Amazon.
