There are two days of special events to accompany the national touring exhibition ‘Show me the money: The Image of Finance’ at Chawton House Library, and to celebrate the decision of the Bank of England to depict Jane Austen on the £10 note. The exhibition tells the visual history of finance from the 1700s to the contemporary. The work in Chawton House Library emphasises the critical but often overlooked role that women artists have played in telling the story of finance. Alongside familiar images by Hogarth and Gillray, and new research on the Austen family itself, the exhibition explores the work of a contemporary generation of women artists who are interested in what money itself is: the tension between its essential place in our social and collective lives and its fragile and ephemeral physical nature.
