Celebrating the Coronation - An Exhibition at Christie's London
To mark the Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III & Queen Camilla, the Royal Drawing School has commissioned alumni artists of its flagship postgraduate-level programme, The Drawing Year, to create works that are personal reflections on this momentous occasion. The exhibition offers a variety of perspectives, rich in observation, imagination and storytelling.
These commissioned works on paper are exhibited alongside a selection of drawings by fellow Drawing Year alumni that form part of His Majesty’s archive of drawings from the School. Upon graduation one drawing is chosen from each student to be included in the archive as a record of their study. There are now over 500 drawings in the collection.
From 2 – 25 May, the exhibition can be viewed in person at Christie’s, London.
