Aberdeen
13 Jun 1970 – 4 Jul 1970
Aberdeen Art Gallery organised the James Giles Centenary exhibition from 13 June to 4 July 1970. The Royal Scottish Academy records The Weird Wife among the works shown, connecting the exhibition to Giles’s Diploma painting, an oil on canvas dated about 1830. The Academy’s object history identifies the canvas as accession 1994.001 and records its deposit in the Diploma Collection in December 1831. It also cites letters in which Giles described the extended preparation of the picture. The centenary title and the artist’s recorded death in 1870 place the Aberdeen display in a commemorative context. This reconstruction documents one exact painting; the original complete exhibition catalogue has not been examined.
