The University is exhibiting artwork by one of Scotland's most-acclaimed writers. The exhibition of original graphics by Alasdair Gray provides a rare chance to see the vibrant sketches and motifs that have helped bring to life some of his best-known books. The display features illustrations used in critically acclaimed novels such as Lanark (1981), Poor Things (1992) and Old Men In Love (2007). The exhibition coincides with the launch of A Life in Pictures, an extensive visual biography of the Glasgow-born writer, and a display of Gray's portraits at Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. It runs from October 23 to December 11 in the Talbot Rice Gallery, Old College.
