The Eagle Gallery was established by Emma Hill in 1991 to promote the work of contemporary British artists through a regular programme of exhibitions, installations and artists' publications. As one of the original alternative spaces of the 90's the Eagle Gallery has shown the work of many of the foremost young British artists to have emerged over the last decade including Jane Bustin, Peter Doig, Mark Francis, Nicky Hirst, Callum Innes and Terry Smith, as well as more established artists such as Basil Beattie, Prunella Clough, Stephen Cox and Liliane Lijn. The Eagle Gallery represents a core group of British artists and has held a significant number of first London solo exhibitions, notably with Cecily Brown and Tom Hammick. Established artists have been invited to use the space to make or show work in an experimental way and installations include Drawing on the Interior by Basil Beattie, Another Situation/No Style by Bruce McLean and Mel Gooding and Strip by Terry Smith. On occasion we have worked with invited curators and memorable shows include Bob and Roberta Smith (curated by Anthony Wilkinson) and Sex, Seditionaries and The Sex Pistols (curated by Paul Stolper and Andrew Wilson). The Gallery has worked on exhibitions in association with a number of cultural organisations including The Cheltenham Literary Festival, The Italian Cultural Institute and Sadler's Wells Theatre. In recent years the Eagle Gallery has curated a number of major site-specific projects including Correspondences and One Room, 1998, in association with the Norfolk and Norwich Music Festival. From 1999 - 2001 Emma Hill was guest curator of the visual arts programme of the Hoxton/Almeida Contemporary Music Festival, London. Publications and temporary installations have been made possible through the generous support of public and corporate bodies including Arthur Andersen PLC, the Arts Council of England, the Elephant Trust, Euromonitor PLC, the London Arts Board, the London Institute and the Victoria and Albert Museum. Works by our represented artists are held in many major public collections including the Arts Council of England; the British Museum; the Government Art Collection; the Imperial War Museum; the Metropolitan Museum, NY; MOMA, NY; the Tate Gallery and the Victoria and Albert Museum. The Eagle Gallery's imprint EMH Arts has published a series of collaborative artists's books which are held in many major international collections including the New York Public Library and the Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT, USA |
