Collaborative projects related to the house and collections
Acquired by Hare and Gordine, the Museum’s Russian art collection includes furniture, paintings, engravings, silverware, lacquerware, glassware, folk art, porcelain and icons. Richard Hare’s book The Art and Artists of Russia (1965) was dedicated to Gordine and drew on objects from the couple’s collection.
Dora is a collaboration between Dorich House Museum and research centres within Kingston School of Art at Kingston University. Inspired by and reflecting upon Gordine’s personal and professional legacy, this volume aims to provide an intellectual space for framing and disseminating ideas, images and words that consider the breadth of women’s creative practice, and a platform from which to generate an open dialogue within an international context.
Over the course of 2019 to 2021, volunteers at Dorich House Museum explored the little-known history of Dorich House in the 1980s and 1990s, focusing on its transition from Dora Gordine’s home into a museum following her death in 1991. This project was made possible by a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
