Eduardo Paolozzi takes centre stage

Eduardo Paolozzi, the late UK artist known for his decorative mosaics at Tottenham Court Road underground station, will be honoured next year with a major retrospective at the Whitechapel Gallery in London (16 February-14 May). The long-awaited show will include more than 250 works including the famous sculpture Diana as an Engine (1963), which resembles a Surrealist fire hydrant, and the Whitworth Tapestry (1967). Look out also for key material from the artist's important 1952 performance-cum-lecture Bunk! which comprised projected collages made up of press clippings and pin-up postcards. Paolozzi’s stock is rising: Jonathan Clark Fine Art gallery in London recently staged a show of works by the Scottish-born sculptor, including a series of fractured portrait heads depicting Isaac Newton and Alan Turing. The subjects reflect Paolozzi’s “taste for European intellectualism, which is an ocean away from the celebrity sitters chosen by Andy Warhol”, says a spokesman for the gallery.
