20-20: Twenty Years of Collecting Contemporary Art
Feb 21, 2020 - Dec 24, 2020
To mark this special occasion, we are bringing together works of contemporary art collected over the last 20 years, many from artists who have featured in our exhibitions programme. Works span a wide range of media and scale. We have selected both international artists as well as those closer to home and from across the country. Themes explored include the changing urban landscape, the Black Country, the impact of globalisation and people and places. We also acknowledge significant gifts and schemes which have enriched the collections, such as the Contemporary Art Society Special Collection Scheme and Art Fund International as well as the Clive Beardsmore Gift, a collection of 200 modern and contemporary works generously donated to the Gallery in 2014. Participating artists include Mohamed Bourouissa, Lee Bul, Ruth Claxton, Martin Creed, Rita Donagh, Brian Griffin, Romuald Hazoum茅, Mahtab Hussain, Andrew Jackson, Martin Parr, Mark Power, Juneau Projects, Hew Locke, David Shrigley, Dayanita Singh, Soheila Sokhanvari ,Andrew Tift, Grazia Toderi and Stuart Whipps.
