Final week for Museum's Ida Kar exhibition

There's less than a week left to see an exhibition at Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery featuring 40 portraits of artists from Paris, London and St Ives by one of the 20th century’s most pioneering female photographers.

‘Ida Kar: Bohemian Photographer’ has been produced by the Museum in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery. It charts Russian-born Kar’s career from some of her earliest portraits through to the height of her success in 1960 when she became the first photographer to be honoured with a solo exhibition at a major London art gallery.

Kar also photographed a number of artists from Cornwall’s St Ives School of Artists including famous sculptor Barbara Hepworth and internationally renowned abstract artists such as Terry Frost, Peter Lanyon and Patrick Heron. Works by these artists from the City Museum and Art Gallery’s permanent collections are also on display in the show.

The exhibition will remain on display until Saturday 13 April and is open from 10am to 5.30pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 5pm on Saturday.
