In tribute to this, and all the works he donated to the gallery, there’s also the newly refurbed cafe, Paolozzi’s Kitchen, formerly Cafe Modern Two.

Sir Eduardo Luigi Paolozzi CBE RA ( / p aʊ ˈ l ɒ t s i/, [1] [2] Italian: [paoˈlɔttsi]; 7 March 1924 – 22 April 2005) was a Scottish artist, known for his sculpture and graphic works. He is widely considered to be one of the pioneers of pop art. Early years [ edit ] Paolozzi's I was a Rich Man's Plaything (1947) is considered the first standard bearer of Pop Art and first to display the word "pop". Paolozzi showed the collage in 1952 as part of his groundbreaking Bunk! series presentation at the initial Independent Group meeting in London.

In 2013, Pallant House Gallery in Chichester held a major retrospective Eduardo Paolozzi: Collaging Culture (6 July −13 October 2013), featuring more than 100 of the artist's works, including sculpture, drawings, textile, film, ceramics and paper collage. Pallant House Gallery has an extensive collection of Paolozzi's work given and loaned by the architect Colin St John Wilson, who commissioned Paolozzi's sculpture Newton After Blake for the British Library. Speaking at the event, John Dunsmore said: “It’s an exhilarating experience to be launching our inaugural beer in such a unique venue. A big thank you is owed to the whole team who have worked incredibly hard to help us reach this milestone. The Manuscript of Monte Cassino, an open palm, a section of limb and a human foot, located at Leith Walk, looking towards Paolozzi's birthplace Leith Mosaic murals for the platforms, passages and escalator entrances of Tottenham Court Road tube station, London, and Paolozzi's most extensive work. Escalator entrance murals were removed as part of redevelopment, and were donated to the University of Edinburgh though most mosaics remain in situ and were restored in 2017. [21] [22]He taught sculpture and ceramics at several institutions, including the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (1960–62), [13] University of California, Berkeley (in 1968) and at the Royal College of Art. Paolozzi had a long association with Germany, having worked in Berlin from 1974 as part of the Berlin Artist Programme of the German Academic Exchange Programme. He was a professor at the Fachhochschule in Cologne from 1977 to 1981, and later taught sculpture at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich. Paolozzi was fond of Munich and many of his works and concept plans were developed in a studio he kept there, including the mosaics of the Tottenham Court Road Station in London. [9] He took a stab at industrial design in the 1970s with a 500-piece run of the upscale Suomi tableware by Timo Sarpaneva that Paolozzi decorated for the German Rosenthal porcelain maker's Studio Linie. [14] Over 200 invited guests, including members of Paolozzi’s family, attended the event which saw the entire frontage of the gallery swathed in stunning projections of some of Eduardo Paolozzi’s most famous works. The space has been decorated in colours that might have appeared on his early mosaics or prints, and the menu, with food by Heritage Portfolio, has an Italian Scottish twist. Thankfully, the massive still life of cakes remain on the counter, including my usual ginger and oat slice, which is also available at Modern One, and is sweet enough to put the o! in glucose. Paolozzi Restaurant & Bar is a partnership between Edinburgh Beer Factory and Gino Stornaiuolo, Scots-Italian restaurateur and former DJ. We showcase freshly brewed, local beers, Italian Scottish dishes, Eduardo Paolozzi art works and fresh music playlists. Paolozzi mosaic restoration work starts in ECA Sculpture Court".

Eduardo Paolozzi was born in Leith, Edinburgh, to Italian immigrant parents in 1924. He went on to launch the Pop Art movement and become a globally influential artist in collage, screenprinting and sculpture. Transforming overlooked, everyday objects into works of art, Paolozzi’s approach was summed up in his idea of revealing the ‘ sublime in the everyday’.
