Originals 2009 at the Mall Galleries
Event: Originals 2009
Date: February 18th until 28th
Visitors to the luxury London hotel the 41 can coincide their stay with the Originals 09 exhibition taking place at the Mall Galleries next month.
The contemporary printmaking show has established itself as the UK's most prestigious event of its kind, with art enthusiasts travelling from near and far to see some of the work on offer.
Part of the beauty of the exhibition is the fact that from day one, it has provided a platform for up-and-coming talent to show what they can do and present their prints alongside those of more-famous names.
One of the highlights of this year's event is the selection of pieces from the archives of the Curwen Studio, which is celebrating 50 years as one of the most significant print editing studios in Europe.
Visitors can peruse a wide range of genres and tastes and pick up a beautiful piece of art which may go perfectly on a bedroom wall or stand proudly above the fireplace.
Why not turn the whole weekend into a shopping extravaganza?
By booking the 41 hotel's Shop Till You Drop package, guests can enjoy a full English breakfast before jumping into a paid-for taxi which will take them to Selfridges on Oxford Street where they can spend £50 worth of vouchers.
