BURU (the Ben Uri Research Unit) is proud to announce the exhibition, Mark Gertler: Paintings from the Collection of Luke Gertler & selected important UK collections, showcasing five important paintings from the Estate of the artist’s son, Luke Gertler (1932–2017), which are on loan from Art Fund: The Artist’s Parents (c. 1909–10), The Artist’s Brother, Harry (c. 1911), Daffodils in a Blue Bottle (1916), Trees at Sanatorium, Scotland (1921) and The Coster Woman (1923). These loans represent the major themes and motifs of Gertler’s early career: portraiture (particularly of members of his own family), the still life, and landscape, and have provided the catalyst and context for the current show.
