Dellasposa is where art and culture are born of the aesthetic enjoyment and intellectual nourishment we derive through our visual world.
Founded in 2016, the gallery today represents contemporary and modern artists from around the world united by their conceptual rigour and quality, timeless works of art.
Alongside the contemporary artists represented by the gallery, Dellasposa also specialises in modern masters from the 20th century - from the School of Paris, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, to Modern and Young British Artists.
Peppiatt stated: "I didn't dare go and knock." But why not? Why couldn't Peppiatt just go and knock on Giacometti's door and talk to him? I was looking at my most recent sculptures and it was obvious that they were far superior to the sculptures of Giacometti which are so embarrassingly bad, and no one really likes them, but art critics have to pretend to because they are obliged to just as they pretend to like de Kooning because they are obliged to. I am still waiting for Peppiatt to knock on my door but I don't think he dare knock: but it is his loss, not mine.
i went twice late 80s with older company thent ended up owning two clubs in the Charing x rd i was propably twenty at the time, I miss all that now im 60 The A&R , TPA, Jerrys I kind of mis those days, Nicky Holloway
reminds me a lot of the landlady at the pub in spittlefilds where tracey emin used to drink. Genuinely one of the most unpleasant people I have ever met in my life - no doubt those she takes a fancy to love her. Idk maybe rudeness its a 'cool' 1950s thing
Great documentary! I've spent many a year lurking around Soho but never when this club was still active. Would loved to have tried to get in. Would have been nice to have been called a cunt as well and welcomed into the fold. haha ;)
I see where the gangs got the idea of the casitas!!! The underground world is so amazingly complex, you never know what you gona find on every turn. Amazing how this ideas transcend time, cultures, borders
Clubs are odd things. What did it mean if some owner/manager subjectively liked or disliked you? It all sounds like membership of the cool set at school, or the Bullingdon at Oxford. What's the appeal, apart from exclusivity? If you're rejected by a group, you probably couldn't have been happy or safe in it anyway.
Went a few times, firstly as a guest, thereafter just wandered in. My favourite visit was just after the smoking ban. Walked in to be greeted by everyone looking at me, checking me out. Took a few seconds but I passed muster and then all the cigarettes emerged from under chairs, sides of legs, every possible hiding place. It was like a 20s speakeasy. People were chucking their tab ends out of that window next to the toilet. Loved the place.
I do wish you wouldn't keep asking him the same questions trying to get the same answers he's said before. There's SO much to learn from him and sadly not much time.
Very nice and humble interview with David Bailey and Tim Marlow. They are ideal together as interviewer and interviewee, the interview is great, it just flows like ice cream! Great insights, stories and the whole historical buzz is great to listen to about the 1960's. The photographs are savage, they remind me of that Turkish fella Karsh. Thanks David Bailey. Look at that for a studio! Cheers Dellasposa.
Bailey is a top bloke with an amazing resume. No bull, says it as it is. Him, Duffy and Donovan really set the bar. Poor fella sounds like he's now got COPD. His legacy is assured.
I can hardly believe that only 133 people have seen this Vid with only 11 likes ??? Can you imagine if it had been HCB or Stephen Shore maybe. This man is a UK National Treasure who is not only one of most famous, talented and original photographers EVER, but also an amazing wit and raconteur. You can come to Cornwall for dinner with me anytime Bailey !
@@ajs41 the Uploader would only know if the Uploader actually edited and put the video together - the volume problem is caused by different audio and video segments knitted together, without paying attention to the different volume levels of each.
I am reading sporadically Tales from the Colony Room.. i am fascinated , amused to snorting laughter and terrified in equal measure- just before it closed i went up for a drink with someone, so i saw it before it disappeared at least .. if hell is other people then at least this place seemed a hell of other intersting people ❤
What a tragedy.. I recently read Tracey's biography and the most moving part was in chapter 3 when her cousin Albert smashed out her teeth with a McCowans silver toffee hammer during a game of Connect Four, when he accused her of cheating.. She had to be flown to Germany for emergency reconstruction of her lower jaw..
Horrible, and from what i read , although verbally there was ruthlessness cruelty and blood, no physical violence was ever tolerated, or espoused so this is an awful story
24:18 - looks like a young Boris Johnson on the far left, if only they'd known what he would become they could have saved the country a whole lot of bother
Had some cracking times at The Colony, mainly in the downstairs toilet with Wojas wrapped around the pipe. Check out my Substack, a couple of my tales mention the place: chrisdangerfield.substack.com/
The biggest mystery about F.B. is how he managed to live to the ripe old age of 82. The best one can say about him is that he wasn’t a chocoholic. Every other excess known to medical science he pursued with vigor.
I have never been to The Colony Room. However, it certainly had a reputation. Whether good or bad, I would have enjoyed seeing it for myself. You've got to give them one thing, they were definite characters. Thank you for the upload.
@@ajs41 In Belgium there is no closing time. A bar needs to close 12 hours a day yes, but up to the bar when this is. So after a club closes, just look for the after club.
Coffield knowingly exhibited alongside very badly faked Bacon drawings disseminated by fraudster conman Cristiano Lovatelli Ravarino at the Herrick Gallery and Alice Herrick also knew very well that they were extremely bad fakes but still made a greedy 'tidy' profit out of the fraud. So I would love to know what Coffield thinks now that the Italian police have confiscated nearly 500 of the fakr Bacon drawings that he was happy to be exhibited with. Coffield and Herrick cannot now lie and say that they never knew they were Bacon fakes.
