Margret Wibmer, Black Clouds #3, 2025. Fine art print on Hahnemühle paper. 77 x 63cm - Concluding the Exhibition 'Collecting I: Bridges'
Multimedia artist Margret Wibmer and collector Christopher Springham FRSA first met at The Merchant House (TMH) in 2021. Since then, a shared commitment to socially engaged work and feminist themes has led to an ongoing dialogue on art and friendship. Following sold-out performances of Wibmer’s participatory Salon d’Amour at TMH in July 2025, and to mark the conclusion of the exhibition Collecting I: Bridges on Springham’s collection (currently on view at TMH), we are pleased to present the first display of Wibmer’s art-props—finely hand-sewn masks, costume pieces on one level and sculptural textiles on another, made in the context of Wibmer’s performances—alongside other works.
Artists of Christopher Springham’s Collection—currently on view:
Tony Andreas, Sylvie Bonnot, Peter Blake, Jim Dine, Tracey Emin, Elizabeth Frink, Barbara Hepworth, Damien Hirst, David Hockney, John Hoyland, Jasper Johns, André de Jong, Robert Longo, Henry Moore, Robert Motherwell, Julian Opie, Robert Rauschenberg, Bridget Riley, James Rosenquist, Christopher Springham, André Stempfel, Mary Sue, Donald Sultan, Dilruba Tayfun, Elsa Tomkowiak, Margret Wibmer, Jean-Charles Wundele, Zhu Hong, Banksy
