Works by Heron and Ayres lost in warehouse fire

Much has been said in the press about the loss of works by Emin and Hirst in the recent warehouse fire. Unfortunataley, the damage is much more widespread, with large numbers of works by other significant British artists being lost.

This includes many works by Patrick Heron and Gillian Ayres, both of whom are represented in the University collection. You can see the works that we have in this exhibition in the Virtual Mead system.

  1. Really like the way you can just knock together a new collection like that. Nice to keep things fresh and help people discover art that they might not have come across otherwise.

    Oh I suppose so, when i get time to do the css. The idea is that the images expand to fit as much space on your screen as possible. Looking at these works as small images really loses a lot of their value.
