This week sees the publication of G F Watts in Kensington: Little Holland House and its Gallery by Barbara Bryant. Although many have heard of the building and know that Watts lived there, they don't know how significant a building it is. What marks it as different is the fact that it was a public gallery, open at weekends from 2-6 for anyone who wished to visit. Opening up a gallery in a private house is a rarity and Watts allowed everyone in who made the journey to Kensington. A rarity even today.
