Ian Hamilton Finlay – Artist, Poet, and Revolutionary
Date: 21 June 2013 – 29 May 2014
Space: Gallery 3

Exhibition of work (prints and sculpture) by Ian Hamilton Finlay from Glasgow Museum’s collection.

Finlay had a crystal-clear vision of what he wanted to convey in his art, using words as a weapon. On show alongside Glasgow Museums’ collection of Finlay prints are two installations specially created for GoMA when it opened in 1996. Both relate to the French Revolution which, along with war and a passion for the values of neo-classicism, are recurring themes in his work.
