An Evening with Desmond Shawe-Taylor
Desmond Shawe-Taylor, the current Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, will give a talk on the theme of ‘Art & Order’: a discussion of the way in which Queen Victoria’s acquisition of paintings contrasted with that of other great collectors, such as The Tate and The National Gallery, in its preference for academic, rather than subversive, art. This will be folowed by a Q&A session.
