Spotlight Display: New Acquisitions - Aberdeen Art Gallery

Every year new objects enter Aberdeen’s Archives, Gallery & Museums collection. Through a combination of gifts, bequests, donations and purchases we continue to breathe new life and meaning into the collection, guided by our Collection Development Policy. The display is updated throughout the year to showcase new acquisitions entering the city’s collection.

This small display features our latest acquisitions, including The Room in Autumn by Victoria Crowe, who has been described as “one of the most vital and original figurative painters currently at work in Scotland.” There are three works on display by this important artist, who recently celebrated her 80th birthday. The display also includes a new work created by Bruce Swanson as part of our Micro-commissions programme.
