Swindon’s Collection charts the development of British art from the 1880s until today. Paintings, works on paper and studio ceramics demonstrate the abundance of styles and ideas that define art in Twentieth Century Britain. The collection includes work from early modernist artists from the Camden Town Group and the Bloomsbury Group, through to Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptualism.
Art Unlocked is an online talk series by Art UK in collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies. This Curation is based on a talk by Katie Ackrill, Project Engagement Officer - Art on Tour at Swindon Museum and Art Gallery, on 4th August 2021. You can find a recording at https://youtu.be/NHVIsCfo9ls
