The final exhibition in the five year international tour of Hannah Frank’s drawings and sculptures.

Opens on the artist’s 100th birthday  23 August 2008.

A large selection of Hannah Frank's works, many loaned from private collectors and never before exhibited. Family sketches, self-portraits and extracts from the artist’s illustrated diaries. Some works on canvas (see below) are on show at the University Visitor Centre to accompany the exhibition. Some  Glasgow University Magazines from the 1920s and 30s, to which Hannah Frank contributed on many occasions, are on show. Prints, canvases, Hannah Frank books, and recasts of sculpture will be on sale.

The exhibition has been sponsored by 'One Glasgow', a University of Glasgow initiative to promote and celebrate equality and diversity with staff, students and the local community

"..looking at her art now, it is the pen and ink illustrations that really seem her own. Eighty years on from her earliest works they remain personal and deeply touching, suffused with the longing and elegant melancholy of youth in the sepulchral light of the chapel."

“My aunt is easily as excited as I am about the forthcoming exhibition and her 100th birthday" Fiona Frank, artist's niece.

"If you're an artist, you do it for people, so that people will admire it, so it's no use if it's kept in a dungeon and nobody ever sees it….You hope that people will see it and think you're wonderful" (Hannah Frank 2004)

"I just wish I could live for ever. As long as someone got to know that there was somebody called Hannah Frank...". (Hannah Frank June 2008)
