About

Follow the extraordinary story of how a modern art collection came into being, through over 80 paintings passed on between three queer homes: those of Eddie Sackville-West, Eardley Knollys, and Mattei Radev.

This notable collection, one of the biggest and most important groupings of modern British art in the country, offers an intimate perspective on the development of modernism across Europe.  It offers a rare chance to get up close with work by some of the most influential artists of the 20th century, including Pablo Picasso, Winifred Nicholson, Amedeo Modigliani, Graham Sutherland, and key Bloomsbury figures such as Roger Fry, Vanessa Bell, and Duncan Grant.
