Eduardo Paolozzi’s studio is meticulously recreated with sculptures, models, books, toys and even his bed. In 1994 the artist donated the entire contents of his Chelsea studio to the National Galleries of Scotland. Viewing the studio, you gain a personal insight into how the artist worked and what inspired him. Sir Eduardo Paolozzi is considered one of the most versatile sculptors in post-war Britain. He was born into an Italian-Scots family and grew up in Leith, Edinburgh, later moving to London. Throughout his career, Paolozzi combined his work as an artist with teaching in art colleges in British and, for periods, in Germany. He had an enthusiastic and encyclopaedic variety of interests in the world and reflected this by frequently changing the media and styles in which he worked. By looking closely at material from his studio, you can discover more about the man and the source of his ideas. The studio is divided into areas for different types of activity: desks for reading and working with paper, shelves of reference books, a large central table for modeling, and working with plaster casts, and a bunk for resting. Paolozzi was interested in a number of themes and by seeing his studio you can get an idea of the ways he worked and the inspiration he drew from the world around him. Paolozzi also generously gave a large body of his work to the Galleries, some of which is permanently on display. This gift includes a substantial number of sculptures, prints and drawings, as well as numerous artefacts (books, toys, machine parts and other items) which have inspired his work.

The Yorkshire Sculpture Park is just of the M1 at West Bretton, near Wakefield and occupies a 500-acre country estate interspersed with numerous outdoor sculptures. There are numerous trails and paths through various zones, with sculptures by such artists as Henry Moore and Antony Gormley among those whose works are exhibited. The sculptures – which are regularly moved from place to place within the park – blend into the gardens, hillsides and around a small lake, providing an outdoor environment in which to view the works both from afar and up close – and sometimes even from within.

I wish I liked Eduardo Paolozzi's transport artworks more than I actually do. But here's the thing. As I keep explaining to people (see this on one transport minister's bizarre opinions on transport architecture), just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's worthless. There will be plenty of people who think it's great. Such…

Continuing the Paolozzi love on this blog, I visited the new retrospective of his work at the Whitechapel Gallery in East London. Over 250 of his works are on display and it’s more than worth the price of admission. Prints, sculptures, paintings, textiles, photos, films and collages stretch over two floors and the breadth of his work is amazing. What’s also apparent in most of it is that it’s barely dated and is quite timeless, his early Pop Art collages being the only exceptions which can be forgiven as he was one of the originators. The technical level achieved in the screenprints is beyond anything I’ve seen as well, I would love to see the original screens for these or the prints that went wrong. Two mediums I hadn’t seen his work in before really stood out: the textiles and a couple of works in wood, the latter, made with different kinds and varnishes, were gorgeous. Highly recommended.
This retrospective is hard-going at times, but it also confirms Eduardo Paolozzi was far more than just the pioneer of pop art, says Alastair Smart.

My mother has made meat sauce every Sunday. in fond memory of my dear grandmother, I've blessed it with the name "Paolozzi Meat Sauce".
Sir Eduardo Paolozzi (1924-2005) was born in Leith, Scotland to Italian parents, and studied at Edinburgh College of Art, St. Martin's School of Art and then finally the Slade School of Fine Art. During the late 1940s Paolozzi moved to Paris, where he met Dadaists Jean Arp and Tristan Tzara,...
One of his later works in 1989, this is a bronze sculpture called Master of the Universe. There are glaring similarities to the epic work, Newton, at the British National Library in London. This is a little less detailed and a great deal smaller. This was also home to a colony of ladybirds and whitefly, neither of whom seem to like the London version. The Dean Gallery, is very much the foremost gallery to visit to appreciate Paolozzi's work. Eduardo Paolozzi, you were a genius.
