Joseph Wright of Derby – Derby Museum & Art Gallery, June 2014

14 June 2014 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm


The seminar will explore questions and issues around ‘single artist collections’ – the in-depth holdings of key individual artists found in many museums and galleries across the UK. Often of international importance, these collections are major assets and a focus for public and scholarly interest. Using the collection of Joseph Wright’s work at Derby Museums as a starting point, the day will explore some of the challenges these collections can pose, in terms of presentation, administration and research and offer the chance to share experiences and insights through case studies and group discussion. Programmed by Lucy Bamford, Keeper of Art, Derby Museums, in collaboration with Martin Myrone, Lead Curator, Pre-1800 British Art, Tate.
