This one's all about the numbers. The works represent the numbers from one to ten. The artists are 50% female/male, at least 20% LGBTQ+, 20% global majority – with sculpture, painting, etching and drawing represented. This is a microcosm of how we approach telling the stories behind the nation's art. I've even made sure there's one 'unknown' artist (technically 'French School') and someone not know for being an artist – Prince Albert!
