Canary Wharf’s most majestic venue to host The Vettriano Collection, an exhibition of limited edition prints by Jack Vettriano.
Organised in association with Heartbreak Publishing, the exhibition comprises a specially curated collection of signed, limited edition prints by Jack Vettriano on display in the Fleming Gallery Room until Friday 21st December 2012. Admission is free of charge.
Jack Vettriano’s association with the Boisdale group began in 2010 when he was named Great Scot of the Year, and the award presented to him by the inaugural year’s winner, Sir Jackie Stewart. Last year’s opening of the 15,000 square foot Boisdale of Canary Wharf has continued the association with the opening of ‘The Jack Vettriano Room’, a private dining room where original paintings hang alongside a specially created series of limited edition prints.
Speaking about the Boisdale, Jack has said, “Until I was nominated for the Johnnie Walker Great Scot of the Year Award in 2010, I was embarrassingly unaware of the Boisdale Club in Belgravia. It was wonderful to discover such a strong Scottish presence only five minutes’ from my home and the night of the Award is one of the most memorable and enjoyable I’ve had in years.
Without doubt, the most lasting reward of that evening, was meeting and since becoming friends with, Ranald Macdonald, who is, in all senses, at the heart of the Boisdale empire. I was thrilled to hear about Ranald’s ambitious plans for a Boisdale in the City and was lucky enough to get a sneak preview before it opened. It is quite simply fabulous and on a very grand scale but one made instantly welcoming by Ranald’s eye for detail and his personal touches. I was delighted to be asked to contribute a piece of artwork to hang there and very flattered to discover that two paintings and a collection of prints were to hang in a private dining room.” Jack Vettriano
