Sir Kenneth Clark: Portrait of a Civilised Man - A Culture Show Special

To coincide with Tate Britain's exhibition on Clark opening in May, the Culture Show special presents an intimate portrait of a contradictory and elusive character who transformed our cultural landscape.

Sir Kenneth Clark was an influential figure in 20th-century British art. Born into a world of privilege, his achievements were staggering. He was keeper of the King's Pictures, director of the National Gallery, founder of the Arts Council and independent television, and best remembered as the presenter of the most ambitious arts series ever made - Civilisation. A staunch defender of Reithian values, Clark was attacked for being an elitist 'posh man in tweeds'. But he held a passionate belief that art was for everyone and made it his mission, through television, to share his love of art with the masses.

The Culture Show: Lego - The Building Blocks of Architecture

In the week running up to the launch of the new LEGO movie, this episode of The Culture Show investigates the phenomenon that is lego, the children's toy that can easily be enjoyed by adults just as much.

The programme features interviews with creatives who have been inspired by lego, be that through architecture or art.

Art Lending Library

I have just watched the latest episode of The Culture Show and was very interested to see the feature about the Art Lending Library that has been organised by Market Gallery, and will be taking place at The Mitchell Library, Glasgow during Glasgow International.

Catch the episode on BBC iplayer now:



I am delighted that Market Gallery invited me and other GIAB 2012 participants to contribute to the publication library that will accompany the Art Lending Library.
