Apollo Pythian by Joe Tilson

 

After financing the conservation, due to water damage, and reframing of Apollo Pythian by Joe Tilson FLAG are delighted to see it is now displayed in the main gallery.

 

Joe Tilson (1928-2023)

Apollo Pythion, 1991

 

Etching with corborundum on wove paper presented by The Art Fund, 2015

 

Tilson is known for his paintings, prints and constructions and was one of the founding figures of British Pop Art in the 1960's. Later in his career he began to spend more time in Italy and the subject matter of his work changed to reflect this shift. Subjects from Roman and Greek mythology have been a long-standing theme in art. His works can be found in large numbers of collections around the world, including Tate and Museum of Modern Art, New York.
