THE FIRMDALE ART COLLECTION
HOWARD HODGKIN AT HAM YARD HOTEL
The two Howard Hodgkin prints in the Croc Bowling Alley at Ham Yard Hotel were the largest and most ambitious etchings ever completed by the artist. In this instalment of 'The Firmdale Art Collection', Kit and Willow Kemp marvel at the scale of these paintings that represent an element of nostalgia and the passage of time.
"I went to Howard Hodgkin's studio, which was actually opposite the British Museum. So saw these two artworks actually on his wall, in his studio. And it's like the summer and winter of his life. In fact, I think this was his largest artwork." Kit Kemp
