Description: | About 7,000 paintings, sculpture and works on paper, acquired primarily by gift, bequest and the Slade School prize system and comprising old master prints and drawings, Flaxman plaster models and drawings and Slade's prize-winning drawings and paintings. Also responsible for all other fine art opbjects owned by UCL, including 19th century statuary, portraits of professors and many prints and darwings relating to the Wilkins Building.
The core collection are of very high quality, including indivdual items of international significance (works by Durer, Altdorfer, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, Beck, Huber, Heintz, Turner and Constable) and form a first rate study collection. The Flaxman models and drawings form the largest archive of Flaxman's work.
The Slade Collections form a unique record of English Rat practice in the 20th century which is more thorough than in other art schools. This will be developed by the acquisition of work by artists trained at the Slade, to illustrate their later work and complete gaps in the holdings. | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Gower Street London Great Britain (UK),
