New rare and powerful exhibition in Rugby features 250 works spanning eight decades
Every artwork from the extensive Rugby Collection is brought together in a rare and powerful exhibition.
The Unveiled exhibition presents over 250 works spanning eight decades of modern and contemporary British art.
With works by internationally recognised figures such as Paula Rego, Lucian Freud, L.S. Lowry, Lubaina Himid and Gillian Wearing, as well as quieter, surprising works from less celebrated artists in their formative periods.
Born in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Rugby Art Collection was shaped not by private wealth but by civic belief. The conviction that art belongs to everyone and has a vital role in public life.
Unveiled traces post-war optimism, shifting social values and emerging voices - in a collection built on courage and long-term vision rather than fashion or fame.
It runs at Rugby Art Gallery & Museum from February 21 – June 6. Find out more about the exhibition and other events at https://www.ragm.co.uk/
