Description
In late 1990 Tamworth City Gallery approached Dale Frank to produce a body of work in response to a selection of his choice made from its collection. The idea was conceived as a response to concerns expressed generally in debate about the visual arts at the time. In particular concerns expressed by regional audiences that might simply be the result of a lack of exposure to the contemporary and/or lack of opportunity to participate in the debate.
'Anemone and Ranuncluaceae for Tamworth - Jesus's sullen bouquet' was created for this exhibition in response to , and displayed with, the following works from the collection: Albert Sherman’s 'A Bowl of Flowers' hung upside down to the left and John Salvana’s 'Anatomical Drawing' (a horse head) to the right.
