FELIX IDUBOR EXHIBITION
An exhibition of sculpture by the Nigerian artist Felix Idubor is at present on view in the Pavilion of the Imperial Institute. Felix Idubor, who was appointed instructor in sculpture at Yaba Technical Institute, Lagos, last year, was born in Benin City in 1928, and has held several exhibitions in Nigeria. He was commissioned by the Federal Government to carve a casket for presentation to the Queen on the occasion of Her Majesty’s visit to Nigeria in 1956. This casket will be on show at the current exhibition, together with about forty of Mr. Idubor’s carvings. These are traditional in style, and the materials used are mainly woods from his native country.
The exhibition is open until 28th July at the following times: Mondays to Fridays, from 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.; Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sundays, from 2.30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free.
