The Charity raises funding for five London hospitals; there are 1600 artworks by contemporary practitioners in the collection. “These serve to provide a welcoming and warm environment for patients, staff and visitors in what might otherwise be stark surroundings,” says a spokesperson.
The works by Boshier, from 1979 to 2008, will be exhibited in the main reception of Charing Cross Hospital in Fulham, west London from Wednesday (March 25).
//Self Portrait With Friends Watching Flying Saucers, 1988. Ink on paper, 28.05 x 35.95cm//
The hospital is in Fulham Palace Road, London W6 8RF.
