Strawberries and Sculpture
Enjoy an exclusive talk and reception on the life and work of Anne Damer
Anne Damer, Horace Walpole's second cousin, lived at Strawberry Hill after Walpole's death in 1797. She was an accomplished sculptor whose friends included leading members of the political, arts and theatre worlds.
In marble, terracotta or bronze, Anne Damer modelled friends, family and their animals, and also political heroes, including Admiral Nelson. Anne Damer’s art provides a wealth of insight into 19th century British sculpture, including the negative reactions towards the work of a woman.
On 9th October, Richard Webb, author of 'Mrs D: The life of Anne Damer' will give a insightful talk on the remarkable life and artistic achievement of this talented and interesting woman.
Tickets include the talk, followed by a drinks reception and exclusive access to our 'Sculpture & Society' exhibition.
