Description: | An I.R.A. bomb devastated Bishopsgate in 1993, causing an estimated ��1 billion worth of damage. Alan Halliday was one of several artists commissioned to record the aftermath.
Halliday's ink and wash sketch captures the devastation at St Ethelburga's church from the top of a pile of rubble. St Ethelburga's has since been rebuilt to its original plan. It is now used as a Centre for Peace and Reconciliation.
Halliday lives and works in Fulham. He trained at the Courtauld Institute of Art and has an Oxford doctorate. He has travelled widely on painting trips to America, South America, India, the Middle East and Europe.
Halliday is a 'theatre- and ballet-mad' artist who sketches live performances, as well as film and television productions. He creates studio paintings from his observed ink sketches. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Alan Halliday | Subjects: | Power and Politics Cityscape Art and Design | Temporal: | 1993 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
