A collection of 48 screenprints including 16 prints for 'Mahler Becomes Politics, Beisbol', 8 prints for 'Struggle in the West - The Bombing of London', ' Bacon One' and 'Bacon Two'.
The collection is part of the Wilson gift - the result of a passion for collecting that Professor Sir Colin St John Wilson likened to 'a lifelong addiction' and represents an important step in the gallery's development. This gift of 679 works, which complements the important Hussey and Kearley bequests (the latter also made via the Art Fund), brings the gallery's holdings up to date, enabling it to present one of the best collections of modern British art anywhere in the world.
