Zoom Lecture – Ernӧ and Ursula Goldfinger at 2 Willow Road

Fleeing from Nazi persecution and in search of wealthy English clients, Ernӧ Goldfinger settled in London in 1934 and married the artist Ursula Blackwell. This talk addresses the design, construction and collections of 2 Willow Road, the couple’s former home in Hampstead, a major landmark of modernist architecture in England.

The lecture is given by Sean Ketteringham, who is completing his Doctorate at the University of Oxford. His thesis investigates the intersection of modernism, domesticity, nationalism and imperial decline between 1913 and 1948. The project is an AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award with the National Trust at 2 Willow Road.
