he 100th anniversary of the birth of Wilhelmina Barns-Graham CBE, the noted St Andrews-born abstract artist, takes place on 8 June 2012. To mark the occasion there is a
host of exhibitions and events planned across the UK. For starters, A Discipline of the Mind: The Drawings of
Wilhelmina Barns-Graham opens at the Burton Art Gallery & Museum in Bideford this month with a collection of more than 40 of her landscapes made in situ. “This exhibition demonstrates her achievement as one of the fi nest landscape draughtsmen of her generation,” says Mel Gooding, who curated the show. “Her drawings have an analytic dynamism and diverse stylistic verve that is utterly original and distinctive.” The exhibition then visits the Perth Museum & Art Gallery in May. A second touring show, A Different Way of Working,
takes in Inverness, Wick, Kingussie and Dumfries. It explores her lesser-known print work, made between 1991 and her death in 2004. Meanwhile, Lynne Green’s 2001 monograph, A Studio Life, has been republished by Lund Humphries to celebrate the anniversary, with extra information included from the artist’s personal journals. Green also curated A Scottish Artist in St Ives, an exploration of her infl uential career that closes in April. For more information on the centenary events, visit
