Lyon & Turnbull

Darkness &amp; Light: Post-War &amp; Contemporary Art in Scotland presents an exceptional private collection that succinctly and comprehensively charts the evolution of art in Scotland from the 1940s onwards. It features artists from the Two Roberts (Colquhoun and MacBryde) through to mid-20th century powerhouses such as Alan Davie, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi and Joan Eardley. &nbsp; &nbsp;The collection continues with the plethora of talent that emerged from Glasgow School of Art from the 1980s onwards under the leadership of Alexander Moffat, including Steven Campbell, Peter Howson, Ken Currie, Adrian Wiszniewski and the later generation of Alison Watt, Stephen Conroy and Paul McPhail. Chronologically, it concludes with the remarkable years when Glasgow remained a hotbed of creativity, nurturing the talents of David Shrigley, Douglas Gordon, Christine Borland and many more.Scottish Art has been celebrated in significant exhibitions over the last decade or so, with GENERATION: 25 Years of Contemporary Art in Scotland presented at locations across the country in 2014 and The Scottish Endarkenment: Art and Unreason 1945 to the Present at Dovecot Studios in 2016. Darkness &amp; Light aims to continue this exploration of what has made Scotland’s visual arts scene so vital over the last seven decades and allow collectors to acquire significant works from across this period. &nbsp; &nbsp;
