Syd Barrett exhibition - your help wanted |

The life, art and music of Syd Barrett will again be celebrated, this time in London. Planning for the event is well underway.
This exhibition of art, photography and letter will be bigger and better than the last "Syd Barrett - The City Wakes" held in Cambridge - not only do the organisers again have the support of Syd's sister, Rosemary, but also they have pledges from several old friends of Syd's and art owners to show previously unseen pieces. They also have pledges to loan two considerable collections of letters.
However, the intention is to mount the most comprehensive display of Syd's work, and also, with the expert input of Will Shutes (assistant editor at "The London Magazine"), to provide some serious art interpretation. There will be twice the gallery space as previously, and will be using more innovative and attractive display techniques as well. This should be a real treat!
To do this though, they've asked for your help...
Do you have any original works by Syd, letters from him, or rare photographs of, or by him that throw light on his thoughts and actions that you can loan?
But why loan your private pieces, you may ask?
Brian Wernham, the curator of the art exhibition says:
"There are 4 reasons for those that are lucky enough to own 'Syd' artworks to offer them for loan for the exhibition. There are advantages to the owners of such work in loaning their work, which is why I will be loaning 6 'Syd' pieces myself:
- It is great to spread 'the word' about Syd's creative abilities (not just music) to a new generation of admirers
- Beautiful art should be seen by as many as possible not hidden away
- There are hidden connections in his art that can be seen when they are placed next to each other (as will be demonstrated at the exhibition)
- The provenance of items will be strengthened by inclusion in the official exhibition catalogue (forgery and bad resales of some artists on eBay is becoming a real problem)."
To all owners: please contact Brian at
