==''Masquerade'' and the Golden Hare==

In August 2009, Kit Williams was reunited with the golden hare from ''Masquerade'', which he had not seen for more than 30 years.<ref>{{cite news |last=Douglas |first=Torin |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/arts_and_culture/8212244.stm |title= Artist Reunited with Golden Hare |work=BBC News |date=20 August 2009 |accessdate=19 September 2011}}</ref> He was quoted as saying:

:"I had not remembered it being as delicate as it is ... Then when I picked it up the little bells jingled, and it sparkled in a way that I had forgotten as well."

This reunion was revealed in a 60-minute documentary about Williams's work, ''The Man Behind the Masquerade'', broadcast on [[BBC Four]] on 2 December 2009. The programme began with ''Masquerade'' and ended with an exhibition of the best 18 pieces of his art from the previous 30 years at the Portal Gallery, which had first exhibited his work in the 1970s. The programme showed Williams being reunited with the golden hare for the first time when it was loaned by its anonymous present owner, who lives in East Asia.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2009/08_august/20/kit.shtml | title=BBC Four Reunites Artist Kit Williams with the Missing Golden Hare | publisher=BBC Press Office | date=20 August 2009 | accessdate=19 September 2011}}</ref>
