About this event

Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Ann Christopher is a sculptor and has been for over 50 yrs. She studied at the West of England College of Art, won numerous awards and commissions, was elected a Royal Academician in 1980 and is currently represented by Pangolin London. Her public commissions can be seen in London, Plymouth, Bristol with private ones in the USA and Europe. Elisabeth Frink played a role in her life for several years before they finally met and became friends and colleagues in the early seventies. Her work, unlike that of Elisabeth Frink, is abstract and was once described by Frink as ‘having great presence’.

In this talk Ann will share some of her ways of working and how her work has evolved over time.

Organized by

The Salisbury Museum

The Salisbury Museum tells the story of Salisbury and its surrounding areas - a unique landscape which has been a cradle of continuous human achievement for over half a million years.

The museum uses the extraordinary breadth of its collections, exhibitions and events - including prehistoric material from Stonehenge and South Wiltshire; the Pitt Rivers’ Wessex collection; and a fine medieval collection with finds from Old Sarum, Clarendon Palace and the city itself - to bring to life the narrative of this landscape, and of the people who shaped it and have been inspired by it for over 500,000 years.

Based in the King’s House, a grade I listed building located opposite Salisbury Cathedral, the museum building formerly housed a teacher training college and was the inspiration for an episode in Thomas Hardy’s novel Jude the Obscure.
