A great tribute to the memory of Mick is the inclusion of Alasdair Gray's portrait of him in the current 'Great British Art Show' in Glasgow. It's the first artwork you see on the left as you enter GOMA (Gallery of Modern Art)in Royal Exchange Square (G1 3AH). Alasdair created it in 2008 using pencil, watercolour, acrylic and oils. We were alerted to it when an old friend of the group spotted Mick hanging in a London gallery at the start of this touring exhibition! (For details of the galleries in the rest of the tour see www.britishartshow.co.uk). GOMA has it until August 21, 2011.
