On 18th November 1981 Lutyens: The Work of the English Architect opened at The Hayward Gallery, and was to run for 3 months. It was the work of a team that would go on to found The Lutyens Trust in 1984-5. The original exhibition committee was chaired by Colin Amery and consisted of Jane Brown, Sir Hugh Casson, Roderick Gradidge, Piers Gough, Peter Inskip, Mary Lutyens, Margaret Richardson, Gavin Stamp, Nicholas Taylor and David Watkin. Now 40 years on The Lutyens Trust brings you two evenings, of which this is the second, to reflect on what became a landmark exhibition that made great leaps towards rekindling the flame of appreciation for the great man’s work.

Guests should arrive at The Bloomsbury Hotel at 6:30pm for a 7pm start. Refreshments included. Signage will be in place to direct you to the event.
