Listen to our latest podcast, with artists Erin McQuarrie and Ella Williams in a conversation about their work and their experiences in Orkney.
The Collection, though small in scale, encompasses paintings and sculptures of exceptional quality by the key artists who were instrumental in importing and extending the ideas of the European avant-garde to Britain.
Contemporary additions provide new insight into the core collection and create an active dialogue between twentieth and twenty-first century works helping the collection as a whole to evolve and develop in enjoyable and stimulating ways.
