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
Vettriano fans booking a table at Boisdale Canary Wharf for lunch or dinner will be offered a complimentary glass of champagne. Simply quote “Heartbreak” when booking. Offer valid until 21st December 2012 and subject to availability.
Please note that access to both the Fleming Gallery Room and the Jack Vettriano Room may be limited when a Private Event is on. Please check with the Boisdale ahead of your visit to avoid disappointment. Tel: 020 7715 5818

From Van Gogh To Vettriano
Aberdeen City Art Gallery
4th February – 14th April 2012
The Singing Butler goes on public display for the first time in twenty years as part of a stunning exhibition which opens at the Aberdeen City Art Gallery on Saturday 4th February 2012.
Entitled From Van Gogh to Vettriano, the exhibition features curated from Private Collections and includes works by modern masters including Van Gogh, Monet, Matisse and Lucien Freud and Scottish Colourists, Peploe and Fergusson.

Vettriano counts Vincent Van Gogh as one of his artistic heroes, click HERE to view him discussing Van Gogh’s work.
Vettriano said: “When I first painted it, I never imagined that The Singing Butler would still be of interest to people more than 20 years later.
“For it to now reappear in an exhibition featuring work by such an illustrious group of artists, including some personal heroes of mine, is a fate I could never have predicted nor dared to wish for it. I feel both honoured and humbled to be placed in this peer group.
“I had the privilege of an early look at the exhibition yesterday and would urge people to visit it – there is the most gorgeous Peploe, which alone makes the trip worthwhile. A great idea, to encourage private collectors to share their treasured possessions with the public and I do hope lots of people go to see these paintings before they disappear back behind private doors once more.”
