The purpose of the Jerwood Collection of Modern and Contemporary British art is to give public access to a privately-owned collection and enhance the understanding and enjoyment of this period of British art. In 1993 the first work was bought for the Jerwood Collection and it continues to grow with new acquisitions and donations.
Art Unlocked is an online talk series by Art UK in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies. This Curation is based on a talk by Lara Wardle, Executive Director of the Jerwood Collection, on 11th January 2023. You can watch a recording of the talk on Art UK's YouTube channel.
