Description: | The Goodison Collection consists of an ongoing series of gifts made to the Fitzwilliam Museum through the Art Fund by generous benefactors Nicholas and Judith Goodison.
These gifts include glass, pottery, porcelain, and furniture produced by distinguished contemporary craftspersons, such as ceramics by Katie Malone, Julian Stair and Regina Heinz, glass by Colin Reid and Naoko Sato and furniture such as a Rupert Williamson side table and chairs by Matthew Burt. As a result of his illustrious career in the arts, Nicholas Goodison was the first winner of the CINOA prize and he used this oportunity to commission a piece of contemporary furniture by Wales and Wales for the Fitzwilliam Museum. The Fitzwilliam also benefited from the acquisition of the dramatic Turnbull sculpture ÃLarge Blade Venus,Ã' donated by the Art Fund in recognition of GoodisonÃ's work as their Chairman. | Format: | physical | Subjects: | Contemporary art Ceramics Furniture Glass Ceramic art | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | FAX: | 01223 332 923 | Telephone: | 01223 332 900 | Identifier: | oai:www.cornucopia.org.uk:8420 | Format: | physical | Go to resource |
