AIGBURTH Road in Liverpool is perhaps the last place you’d expect to find an eye-catching exhibition of posters and art works, including some iconic images of the Russian revolution and Lenin.
But the Corke Gallery, located in the middle of a shopping precinct with upwardly mobile pretensions on the outskirts of the city centre, is exactly where some extraordinary examples of original art and prints are on show in this free exhibition which runs until the end of next month.
The works in Life on the Left, dating from 1954 to last year, were collected by the late John and Veronica Gibson.
