THE Golden City was first commissioned by Glasgow Airport in the late 1990s to provide an uplifting image of Glasgow to those embarking on international trips – and it will now be the biggest painting on display at the Paisley Museum when it reopens next year following a £45 million refurbishment.
Carol said: “It’s always very emotional to see Steven’s work, but at the same time it’s really kind of life-affirming for me, because for these few minutes, he’s kind of alive again and people are talking about him – it’s a really good feeling.” “It’s not the place to be dark and moody. No way. I want people to be uplifted; invigorated. I love Glasgow!”
"It’s been a real joy to bring Carol and those who loved Steven and his work to contribute to what will be a spectacular display in our new museum – and I have no doubt The Golden City will bring joy to a new generation of art lovers.” “It’s an idealised version of the city with a golden glow, a romanticised version. I’m delighted it’s going back on public display.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
