New Exhibition Announced – Century: 100 works of Modern British Art from the Ingram and Jerwood Collections

We are delighted to announce a major exhibition for 2016 in collaboration with Jerwood Gallery. Century: 100 works of Modern British Art from the Ingram and Jerwood Collections (22 October 2016 – 8 January 2017) will bring together for the first time two philanthropists and their collections of paintings, drawings and sculpture by major British artists of the twentieth century.

Curated by author and lecturer James Russell, Century will explore a range of themes, from evolving depictions of the coast to the intriguing relationship between figurative and abstract painting.

The exhibition will also bring together groups of related works, such as a series of intimate portraits in pencil, a group of sublime modern watercolours, and an exciting selection of pieces by British sculptors of the 1950s alongside preparatory drawings.

The award winning Jerwood Gallery is home to the Jerwood Collection of 20th and 21st century art, and a varied temporary exhibition programme showcasing the best of modern and contemporary British art.
