THE most comprehensive exhibition of work by Scottish artist Jack Vettriano will be on show in Glasgow this summer.
Kelvingrove will host more than 100 of his paintings, some of which have not been seen for more than 20 years.
A number of the items on display belong to some of Mr Vettriano's famous fans including one by Holywood superstar Jack Nicholson.
The artist, whose best known work is The Singing Butler, said: "I was deeply touched when approached by Kelvingrove Art Gallery about staging a retrospective exhibition for me, having long since been an admirer of their collections and overall ethos.
"Exhibiting in such majestic surroundings is a great honour and one for which I am extremely grateful.
"I look forward to spending some time in Glasgow and renewing my acquaintance with some of my favourite paintings in Kelvingrove's collection that in many ways inspired me to become an artist at the outset."
Jack Vettriano: A Retrospective opens in Kelvingrove on Saturday September 21 and runs until Sunday February 23 next year.
Tickets are now on sale and can be bought at www.glasgowlife.org.uk/ museums. They cost £5 for adults and £3 for concessions with under 16's admitted for free.
