To mark the launch of the ‘Amphitheatre’ book of documentary drawings by artist Julia Midgley and the opening of the exhibition ‘Julia Midgley: Chester Roman Amphitheatre’ at the Grosvenor Museum, Chester City Council has published a Very Limited Edition of prints.
The set of six images have been selected from the book by the artist and each produced in an edition of 20. The prints are produced by the Giclee process and are on heavy fine-art paper, each one signed by the artist.
Julia worked on the Amphitheatre Excavation (subject of a recent BBC 2 Timewatch programme) last summer, producing drawings which document every aspect of the work and which, all agree, capture the atmosphere and the detail of the Dig very well.
Prints are available (price £20 each, unframed, unmounted) from the Grosvenor Museum Shop, or call Adrian Sumner on 01244 402427. Details and images are also to be found on the City council amphitheatre website www.chesteramphitheatre.co.uk
Archaeologists can be seen at the Amphitheatre Tuesday to Sunday, a display of recent finds can be seen at the Chester Visitor Centre, progress can also be followed on the live web camera and regular updates to the website.
