BATH, UK.- The Holburne Museum presents A Matter of Life & Death, on view through March 25, 2007. This exhibition celebrates the arrival at the Holburne – on loan from a private collection - of an exceptional painting of a market stall by Gabriel Metsu, one of the most intriguing artists of the Dutch Golden Age. It brings it together with another seventeenth-century still-life masterpiece and works which explore the same themes and ideas by Sam Taylor-Wood and Marc Quinn, two of the most celebrated artists of today.
