Art Funded by you

1) Colony Room I; 2) Study for 'The Colony Room'; 3) The Estuary, Thames Painting

Michael Andrews, 1962, 1994–1995

These 3 works are part of the Wilson Gift. 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, 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.
