Jack Vettriano ‘touched’ by Kelvingrove exhibition

A major retrospective of the work of Jack Vettriano will bring together more than 100 of the artist’s paintings from private collections around the world.

The exhibition at Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow will feature 20 years of his work, with some going on public display for the first time.

Works including Dance Me to the End of Love, Long Time Gone and Bluebird At Bonneville will be shown from September 21 to February next year.

Actor Jack Nicholson and Sir Alex Ferguson are among his collectors, and a full list of the paintings featured in the retrospective will be published at a later date, Glasgow Life said.

One of Vettriano’s most famous paintings, the Singing Butler, sold for £744,000 in 2004 and is one of the best-selling posters in Britain.

Vettriano said: “I was deeply touched when approached by Kelvingrove Art Gallery about staging a retrospective exhibition for me, having long since been an admirer.

“Exhibiting in such majestic surroundings is a great honour and one for which I am extremely grateful.

“I look forward to spending some time in Glasgow and renewing my acquaintance with some of my favourite paintings in Kelvingrove’s Collection, works by the likes of Van Gogh and the Scottish Colourists that, in many ways, inspired me to become an artist at the outset.”

Archie Graham, chairman of Glasgow Life, which oversees the city’s art galleries, said: “It is a very great honour for Kelvingrove to be welcoming this unique retrospective.”
