Whitworth Art Gallery
The Whitworth has been part of the cultural landscape of Manchester, England, since 1889, when it was created as the first English gallery in a park - the Whitworth Institute - marking the memory of one of the North West's great industrialists, Sir Joseph Whitworth. Its founding mission was to 'secure a source of perpetual gratification to the people of Manchester and cultivate taste and knowledge of the Fine Arts of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture'. The Gallery was nicknamed 'Tate of the North', with over 45,000 historic and contemporary objects in the collection, works on paper, wallpapers and textiles which are recognised amongst the finest outside London, and an architectural update by John Bickerdicke, who transformed the Edwardian spaces into modernist open plan. This concise and informative little book traces the history and development of The Whitworth Art Gallery and its function as a great gallery in a great city. 68 colour illustrations

Mary Kelly
Mary Kelly (born 1941) is known for her project-based work, addressing questions of sexuality, identity, and historical memory in the form of large-scale narrative installations. Mary Kelly: Projects, 1973-2010 has been published to accompany the most comprehensive exhibition of the American artist’s work ever presented internationally, at the Whitworth Art Gallery, The University of Manchester. Over a hundred color images illustrate the trajectory, force and relevance of Kelly’s artistic vision. This collection of new essays and interviews by seven scholars and curators surveys forty years of projects. New light is shed on Kelly’s early career and a newly commissioned work; Habitus (2010, produced with Ray Barrie) is discussed and beautifully illustrated for the first time. This book brings together exciting new analysis of Mary Kelly’s influential career by significant art historians, as well as providing a beautiful visual survey of Kelly’s art practice to date.
