view the instruments — more information about the artists and the exhibition

The first stop on the Painted Quartets tour is the Salthouse Gallery in St Ives, Cornwall. The instruments are being displayed by Bob Devereux, one of the artists involved in this project – see his violin displayed alongside fellow local artist Anthony Frost’s viola, and a whole host of other instruments by artists from across the UK.

The exhibition then lands at the Bate Collection in Oxford, one of the most magnificent collections of musical instruments in the world. Our Painted Quartets, including a violin by designer Cath Kidston and cello by Lincoln Seligman, will sit alongside instruments made by world-renowned makers and from pre-eminent collectors.

The exhibition continues around the country…
