Colin St John Wilson.
Description:
These 6 works are part of the Wilson Gift: 1) Nude Seated on Low Chair; 2) Reclining Nude; 3) Standing Figure; 4) Nude Seated with Arms Above her Head; 5) Nude Seated on a Folding Chair; 6) Nude in Profile. The gift is the result of a passion for collecting that Professor Sir Colin St John Wilson likened to 'a lifelong addiction' and represents an important step in the gallery's development. This gift of 679 works, which complements the important Hussey and Kearley bequests (the latter also made via The Art Fund), brings the gallery's holdings up to date, enabling it to present one of the best collections of modern British art anywhere in the world.
