About the book >.>.> Claudio Hils visited Wolverhampton Art Gallery in January 2005 as the early stages of the building work began and it was our intention that he should make a site visit every three months. At the end of each trip one key image was chosen for a limited edition postcard and distributed to a selected mailing list. The postcards served a dual function not only did they form a beautiful collection of images they also provided an update of what was happening. At the end of the commission ten postcards were selected and the rest of the images formed a resource from which to construct the publication. Our ultimate vision was to create this book as a lasting reminder of the journey we have undertaken and to celebrate our launch into a new era for Wolverhampton Art Gallery. In looking forward buoyed up by the possibilities of our new spaces we also value our connections to the past; to the Gallery and the Art School built by and for local people whose descendads form the communities which we continue to serve. This history is eloquently reflected in the final architectural statement which marries the old and the new through an extraordinary luminous white atrium suffused with natural light. (SP)
