Friends of the RA book first
Friends privately tour Dorich House, a fascinating example of 1930s modernism that was the home of Estonian sculptor Dora Gordine.
In 1938 Gordine was hailed as ‘possibly the finest woman sculptor in the world’. Her husband, Richard Hare, became a great collector of Russian Imperial art, several pieces of which are on display in the house. Dr Jonathan Black, author of ‘Dora Gordine: Sculptor, Artist, Designer: Sculptor, Designer and Artist’ delivers a lecture before we explore the house and sculpture studio, and see their collection of art and artefacts.
Includes coach, tea and cake.
