Memory of a specific place in Rome.

The drawing 'Memory of a specific place in Rome', 1979, was bequeathed to the Contemporary Art Society by the collector Tom Bendhem. In 2008 Rugby Art Gallery and Museum selected the drawing from the national museums touring show organised by CAS. In their anniversary show, Rugby Art Gallery and Museum profiled Judith Cowan with several related recent sculptures. This now forms part of their permanent exhibition.
-‘Memory of a specific place in Rome’, 1979, was made whilst she was a Gulbenkian Rome Scholar at the British School at Rome. It prefaces her interest in performance, in-between places, and the eye of the camera. The place of symbolic transition and a threshold also exists in recent work shown alongside the drawing.
