- This exhibition catalogue represents the textual outcome of a major research and curatorial project initiated in 2012 and presented in 2016-17 at the Fries Museum, Leeuwarden, Österreichische Galerie Belvedere, Vienna, and Leighton House Museum, London. Prettejohn conceived and drafted the initial exhibition concept (awarded first prize in the Turing Foundation Art Grant, 2015); curated the exhibition and its tour, with co-curator Peter Trippi and project manager Frank van der Velden; co-edited the catalogue with Trippi; and wrote the main introductory texts for each section (pp. 18-25, 56-73, 120-37, 170-71), as well as an essay (pp. 98-113). The exhibition presented a new view of the nineteenth-century Dutch artist known as ‘the archaeologist of artists’ by concentrating on the two London studio-houses he co-created, on the circles of family and friends with whom he collaborated, and on the impact of the resulting design ideas on both European and Hollywood cinema. Research for the project revealed more prominent roles for the women artists in the Alma-Tadema circle and more extensive international and intermedial artistic networks than previous scholarship, or even the original plans of the participants, had envisaged. The exhibition format permitted innovative presentation of these research results, with different emphases in each of the three venues, which attracted total audiences of 293,000.
