Description: | The University of St Andrews continues to add to its art collection, aided by the Harry and Marjory Boswell Art Collection Fund, established in 1996, which supports the purchase of art by Scottish artists. Other recent acquisitions have included portraits of Principals and Chancellors, including oil portraits of Principal Brian Lang by Victoria Crowe, 2008, and of Chancellor Kenneth Dover by Colin Dunbar, 2005. A bronze sculpture 'Standing Figure (Vulcan)' (1998) was bequeathed by Eduardo Paolozzi. The Art Fund, National Fund for Acquisitions and the Binks Trust supported the purchase of John Opie's 'Death of Archbishop Sharpe' (oil, 1797), while benefactions have also been received from private individuals, such as Murdo MacDonald who has recently donated over 25 contemporary Scottish works. | Subjects: | fine art Decorative and Applied Art 21st century John PHOTOGRAPHY print BRIAN SIR KENNETH sculpture Art Harry and Marjory Boswell Collection OPIE DOVER painting LANG | Source: | University of St Andrews | Address: | KY16 9AJ | Creator: | University of St Andrews | Contributor: | University of St Andrews | Identifier: | HC:C39 | Language: | en-GB | Relation: | MC:C48 |
