Meeting point: Morrell Library
Come and have an exclusive look at some of the artwork and archival documents from the University of York art collection! With over 900 artworks all over campus, the university overflows with art and there are many new displays and exhibitions popping up across various departments. In this session, university art curator Helena Cox will talk about a selection of paintings, etchings and ceramics from the collection as well as the rich history and hopeful future of art on campus. The session will conclude with a close viewing of Barbara Hepworth’s sculpture Antiphon, one of the star items of the collection. This will be a rare opportunity to have a closer look at artworks which are normally not on display and to see some fascinating documents relating to the art collection.
