North West Members, Kurt Schwitters (Part One) — The Elterwater Merz Barn

Left unfinished after he died in early January 1948, Kurt Schwitters’ final Merzbau (the Elterwater Merz Barn) in Cumbria was neglected for many years until the artist Richard Hamilton arranged for the surviving art work to be removed for safe keeping to the Hatton Gallery in 1965.

Join Ian Hunter, who as Director of the LITTORAL Arts Trust is spearheading a campaign to restore the last remaining Merzbau, and Rob Airey (Keeper of Art) at the Hatton Art Gallery for a chance to view the Merz Barn wall and learn more about the historical significance of Schwitters.
