Cecil Beaton at Home: Beaton at Brook Street

CECIL BEATON AT HOME – TOWN & COUNTRY will be presented in The Yellow Room, contrasting Beaton’s London home, Pelham Place, with Ashcombe and Reddish, his Wiltshire country houses, through vivid room set recreations which reunite many of Beaton’s previously unseen photographs, artworks and possessions. The exhibition also marks the launch of a new book,

CECIL BEATON: PORTRAITS AND PROFILES, by Hugo Vickers, Beaton’s official biographer and literary executor. There will be a themed display throughout the Brook Street showrooms of photographs from the book, together with other portraits and artworks from private lenders, which have never been exhibited before. Many rare and unique photographs are included from The Cecil Beaton Studio Archive at Sotheby’s, who have generously supported this exhibition. 18 November to 5 December 2014, Monday to Friday, 9.30am – 5.30pm Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler Ltd, 39 Brook Street, Mayfair, London, W1K 4JE
