The painting is usually kept in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
ONE of Scotland’s favourite paintings, Christ Of St John Of The Cross by Salvador Dalí, which usually hangs in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow, has come off display ahead of its loan to the Royal Academy of Arts in London. It will return to Kelvingrove Museum next summer.
The painting will be one of the star attractions of an exhibition titled Dalí/Duchamp, opening on October 7. Sophie Kostin, frames conservator at Glasgow Museums, delicately unframed the painting at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre before painting conservator Suzanne Ross inspected the work in preparation for it being packed and transported to the Royal Academy.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
