talks to David Sylvester
A retrospective exhibition of paintings by Sir William Coldstream opens later this week at the South London Art Gallery and will subsequently be shown in Leeds, Bristol, Swansea, Southampton, and Birmingham. It is in fact the first one-man exhibition Coldstream has had.

This is one of a number of interviews with British artists to be broadcast on the Third Programme this year.
