This exhibition coincides with the publication of The Folio Society edition of Angela Carter’s seminal novel Nights at the Circus, illustrated by Eileen Cooper.

Comprised of twenty works on paper of unique collages, monoprints and a linocut, plus a new woodcut edition to be launched by the gallery, this is Cooper’s second show with Sims Reed. Published in 1984, Nights at the Circus incorporates multiple categories of fiction, referencing fairy tales and weaving them into magical realism.

Nights at the Circus by Angela Carter and illustrated by Eileen Cooper is available exclusively here.
