Description: | The Accredited Art Collection of the University of Stirling comprises over 500 works including paintings, prints, sketches, sculpture and silver. The tradition of collecting art goes back to the founding of the University of Stirling in 1967 when Professor Tom Cottrell was the first Principal. Much of the collection was purchased in the late Ninetten Sixties and the Nineteen Seventies and there is a fine collection of works from that period with several examples of the work of Patrick Heron, Terry Frost and Graham Sutherland. Other notable contents include fourteen oil paintings by the Scottish Colourist painter J.D. Fergusson, which was presented by the artist's widow Margaret Morris in 1968; fifteen paintings and three sculptures given to the University in 1997 as part of the Scottish Arts Council Bequest; and site specific works such as a wall mounted steel sculptural panel by Mary Martin. Since the 1990s collecting has focused on works of Scottish contemporary art. | Subjects: | Modern Art Fine Art Patrick Heron Prints Graham Sutherland Sculpture Terry Frost Paintings J.D.
