The news, history and stories behind our art and antiques
Where do we even begin to explain the extraordinary life of Lilian Bland? She is one of the most remarkable women we have ever had the pleasure of investigating. As we dug deeper into our research, we discovered more stories that showed her eccentric character, ambitious nature, her adventures and inventions. We couldn't help but smile in amazement and admiration the more we uncovered her achievements.
Garlick Barnes became a painter later in life after raising her four children, two of whom were the twin duo of William and John Barnes, otherwise known as 'The Barnes Brothers'; both keen British filmakers and film critics. They were a creative family with an interesting history.
Bó Yún and his involvement in the famous 1979 Stars Movement contributed to creating a new wave of contemporary Chinese avant-garde artists, allowing art to become a political statement for social change.
