Latest Events in Glasgow(January Updated)

A display of nine works from The Morag McAlpine Bequest – a significant gift to Glasgow Life Museums by Alasdair Gray following the death of his wife Morag McAlpine in 2014 - is open now in the Fragile Art Gallery in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. 2025 marks 10 years since the gift was donated to Glasgow Life Museums and is on display in what would have been Gray’s 90th year. This is the first time objects from this bequest have been on display in a Glasgow Life Museums venue, and includes the original design artwork for Poor Things – his novel published in 1992. Works on display include the wrap-around jacket for Old Negatives, artwork in progress for the jacket design of Agnes Owens' People Like That, and A Working Mother, among others. This display shows aspects of Gray’s artistic practice – the process of making artwork for publications, from inception to print.
