Watch Polly speak about her approach to selecting the works and curating the exhibition at Burgh House here:
About her choice of theme for the Summer Show 2025, Polly has said: 'Given the unusual location, Burgh House, a beautiful 18th Century Queen Anne Style Home built in 1704 in the middle of Hampstead, the exhibition takes as its inspiration the innovative series of Post War touring exhibitions organised by the Arts Council under the title ‘Sculpture in the Home’. These exhibitions explored and celebrated the important role sculpture plays in a domestic environment.
The winner of the 2025 Best In Show Award, generously sponsored by The Marsh Charitable Trust who supports around 400 charities every year, was Gabriele Risso MRSS for his work Still Life. Charles Micklewright, Trustee at The Marsh Charitable Trust presented the award at the opening that was attended by more than 150 guests.
