Emily Young Exhibition at Leighton House Museum in 2001

An exhibition of Emily Young's work was presented at Leighton House Museum from June 13 to July 28, 2001. The museum is located at 12 Holland Park Road in London W14. The writer first became aware of Young's artistic practice during the early 1990s but only recently had the opportunity to view her creations firsthand. Announcement cards for her shows would often remain displayed on mantelpieces long after the exhibitions had concluded. The event provided a chance to engage with Young's sculptures directly rather than through photographic reproductions or written descriptions. This presentation allowed visitors to experience the physical presence and material qualities of her artwork. The exhibition represented a significant moment for those familiar with Young's career trajectory over the previous decade. It offered a concentrated viewing experience of her output within the distinctive architectural setting of the historic museum.
