John Wonnacott: a 50 year retrospective of self portraits, Clare Hall Cambridge, 1 February – 5 March; St John’s College Oxford, 3 November – 1 December
“Faced by this extraordinary exhibition of 39 often large works, including a massive 17-foot panel, I was filled with admiration for the sheer technical virtuosity of many of the paintings – which few artists of today could even begin to match – at the same time as a sense of frustration that a show such as this seems unlikely to get the kind of big city exposure it deserves.” (Gill Auty in British Art Journal, 13:3, Winter 2012)
