A Reading List by Anne Hardy
April 2025
Artist Anne Hardy has created the following Reading List to coincide with the exhibition Points of View within which her Towner Collection work Outlier is presented.
To find out more about Anne’s practice, a recent publication Survival Spell has an essay by Lisa Le Feuvre on Anne’s work.
You can also come to Towner on Saturday 5 April for a talk with Anne in conversation with the gallery founder Maureen Paley.
