Yes, thanks. I was thinking more of Britain. Is there an artist, for example, whose work can be found on Shetlands and the Scillies?

These are good. Now we need a twinning initiative. Tresco and Scalloway.

Not quite as far as the Shetlands, but works by Hepworth & other St Ives artists can be found in the Pier Arts Centre in Stromness. http://www.pierartscentre.com/index.html

btw - mercia, i can't locate your original post, on a recent thread about film ....just to say thanks v much for the link to the 70s, tom stoppard play. how fascinating, the central character reminded me of a sort of james bond ....but of 'manners & ethics' .... rather than the usual bond aims, objectives, gems & trophies. the play should be on dvd of course. (i wasn't so keen on the film about artists, in ye olde nordic period drama that you also posted ...though fantastic lighting/costumes/set design, well worth seeing)

There's an exhibition of work by Margaret and Paul Hockney in Bridlington Old Town at present. Are they good, or are they living off their famous brother's name? I don't know, but Margaret Hockney's exhibits are very different and deserve to be better known.

I don't know; but if the Frieze Art Fair currently on in London is displaying a speed boat, I suppose one hads to define Ms Hockney's utterly unfascinating pics of vegetables as art?
