The City of Edinburgh’s collection of fine art is recognised as one of national significance. Containing more than 5,000 individual artworks, it charts the history of the visual arts in Scotland from the 17th century to present day. The collection continues to grow every year, with new acquisitions filling historical gaps and introducing contemporary talents. Many of these artworks are generously donated by artists, cultural organisations and members of the public. Gifted: New Acquisitions at the City Art Centre presents a selection of recent gifts and bequests to the collection. The exhibition showcases paintings, drawings, sculptures, prints and photographs, including work by Wilhelmina Barns-Graham, John Bellany, Robert Blomfield, Victoria Crowe, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Jessie M. King, Bet Low, Joseph Noel Paton and Robin Philipson.
