Organised by the artist Gerard Hastings, who knew Clough well from the 80s onwards, and his partner David Evans, they have done a superb job here, bringing together over 120 works, many of them previously unseen, alongside a rich display of archive material and a substantial catalogue to go with it that provides a wonderful sequence of essays and reminiscences by friends and admirers, plus introductory essays by Hastings himself and Clough’s biographer, Frances Spalding.
