Mary Gillick: Her Art in your Pocket

20 Sep 2017 – 28 Jan 2018

Trained as a sculptor at Nottingham School of Art and the Royal College of Art, Mary Gillick (1881-1965) won a competition in 1952 that would see her sculpture in everyone's pocket: her portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was chosen for British and Commonwealth coinage. It remained in circulation until decimalisation in 1971. This display is the first dedicated to Gillick's sculpture, and presents plaster models, drawings and photographs showing her working processes for the production of coins, medals and plaques.
