Modern British Art

Created to accompany the 2016 exhibition at Osborne Samuel Gallery, Modern British Art includes notable new acquisitions: a fine early Ben Nicholson; a collection of important etchings by Lucian Freud; early works by Henry Moore and Lyn Chadwick (shown for the first time); and rare pictures by Peter Lanyon and Alfred Wallis from a private collection. The exhibition was particularly strong in post war sculpture, focussing on the group of artists who came to fame at the Venice Biennales of 1952 and 1956. It includes work by Kenneth Armitage, Prunella Clough, Paul Feiler, Barbara Hepworth, and Peter Kinley.
