Making Waves Lecture Series St Andrews and Scottish Art at Lyon & Turnbull, Edinburgh
As part of the Making Waves Lecture Series, the Development team invites you to an evening celebrating St Andrews and Scottish Art, kindly hosted by Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh.
The Lyon & Turnbull saleroom will be set up for viewing their forthcoming auctions of jewellery and watches, and also their flagship Scottish Paintings and Sculpture sale which, in recent years, has seen record-breaking results for Scottish pictures, in particular for the Scottish Colourists.
Meanwhile the University's Wardlaw Museum is holding a major new exhibition, From These Parts, exploring the nature of Scottish art and celebrating the 200th anniversary of the Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture. The exhibition draws heavily on the University's Harry and Margery Boswell Collection, our important and growing collection of 20th and 21st century Scottish art which was founded, and has been supported over three decades, by the philanthropy of the Boswell family.
Alice Strang, Associate Director at Lyon & Turnbull and a member of the Boswell Collection committee will give her expert insights into highlights from Lyon & Turnbull's Scottish Paintings sale. Struan Watson, Curator of From These Parts, will join Alice to discuss the exhibition, the Boswell Collection and the University's wider Scottish art collections.
This event will start at 6pm at Lyon & Turnbull, 33 Broughton Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3RR.
