Wednesday, 27th August 2008
For our last competition we offered you the chance to win the accompanying book to the current exhibition at Christ Church Picture Gallery '40 Years of Christ Church Picture Gallery' (edited by Jacqueline Thalman) and reviewed in the September issue of Apollo by Apollo Editor Michael Hall.
We asked you: In what year was the current gallery designed and by whom?
Answer: It was designed by Powell and Moya and opened in 1968 (the architects were commissioned in 1963).
Congratulations to Alexandra Ault, this week's winner, drawn at random from the correct answers.
Our prize this Friday ushers in the Apollo September issue, out this week, which celebrates French art and taste. We are offering you the chance to win 'Nineteenth Century French Art' (edited by Henri Loyrette, Sebastien Allard and Laurence des Cars), published by Flammarion; £60, 465 pages. This lavish book explores the extraordinarily rich and productive period of French art: 'the century of history...it is also that of French art and its triumph. French art had never experienced such perfection, such expansion, such influence – France's 'Quattrocento' as it might be described.'
For your chance to win, simply answer the following question:
Which artist painted Un enterrement a Ornans? (1850-51)
Email your answer to offers@apollomag.com using 'French Art' as the subject of your email.
Good luck!
