invited to make a personal appearance on Queen Elizabeth on 17th
and 18th April 2011. He will present his new collection in the
beautiful on-board gallery, Clarendon Fine Art, and will be

Rolf on Jamie's Dream School
Jamie Oliver's latest project has moved from the school
kitchens into the classroom, inviting a host of celebrity teachers
to see what they can do with a group of disenfranchised teenagers.
One of the boys has gone on record saying that the school has
changed his life: "The class that had the most effect on me,
though, was art with Rolf Harris . As my childhood hero, it was
like a dream to be taught by him. I was lucky enough to work on a
few pieces with him, and it has inspired me to carry on with art as
a hobby." In the midst of a posse of experts, Rolf stood out as the
one with the communication skills, personal charm, and genuine
interest in the lives and ideas of other people that allowed him to
hold the attention of a classroom without raising his voice. In te
21st century the generation gap is wider than ever, but once again
he has proved that both his artwork and his personality have a
uniquely universal appeal. Rolf, we salute you!

industrial and rural social history, covering the north and south
of Wales.

After finishing the year in style as the subject of a major BBC
TV documentary at Christmas, Rolf has started 2011 with another
fabulous project. He has released an outstanding new collection of
editions, which comprises ten new works that Rolf has personally
selected from his studio. Taking us from the tree-lined sidewalks
of Amsterdam to the vast plains of the Australian outback and from
the serene waterways of Venice to the majestic wildlife of
the Kenyan savanna, this important exhibition encapulates the
versitility, depth of vision and enduring vitality of the
nation's most beloved artistic voice.
