Описание: Going to the Match shows Burnden Park, the original home of Bolton Wanderers Football Club. It was painted in the year the club played in the Cup Final. That year was also the Football Association's 90th anniversary and they marked the occasion by launching a competition called 'Football and the Fine Arts'. Lowry entered Going to the Match into the competition and wrote to his friend David Carr, 'You were right about that football painting, it has won a prize ... I was never more surprised in my life when I heard.' For many employees then, the working week finished on Saturday at 2.00. Playing at 3.00 gave enough time for them to make their way to the game. Lowry's main interest was in the spectators at a match, making their way there or involved in events happening on the fringes of the crowd. He rarely depicts a football match in progress. Acquired for The Lowry Collection, Salford in 2022, thanks to a generous gift from the Law Family Charitable Foundation thelowry.com LS Lowry's Going To The Match to go on free regional tour. The work was purchased by The Lowry at Christie's in London in October 2022 for lb7.8m when the PFA was forced into selling it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-67480715
