The Pointer in Art
Organised in conjunction with the Pointer Club, which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, the exhibition offers visitors to the Art Gallery the opportunity to view some unique pieces of artwork depicting this beautiful breed.
The exhibition features a distinctive and rare mixture of wonderful art, including oil paintings, engravings, bronzes, porcelain models and trophies along with other Pointer ephemera such as jewellery and medals. Highlights of the display include a series of three Pointer studies by George Earl, set in a fitted ash three fold screen; a collection of trophies from the Pointer Club; a hand coloured engraving entitled ‘12th August’ by Thomas Blinks and a portrait by Reuben Ward Binks of Pennine Prima Donna, winner of Best in Show at Crufts in 1935.
The Pointer in Art is open Monday to Friday from 9.30am – 4.30pm by appointment. To book an appointment, please contact the Art Gallery on 020 7518 1064 or by e-mail: artgallery@thekennelclub.org.uk. The nearest Underground station is Green Park.
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
