Collection news

The sculpture Needle of Knowledge Obelisk by Stefan Knapp has just arrived on campus. The work is being installed, as I type, at the back of the Ramphal building just by the Materials and Analytical Sciences building. Do pop across and have a look. The sculpture is one of three very generous gifts to the University Collection by Eric and Jean Cass which are all arriving this week.

Sadly the artist Mary Fedden has died at the age of 96. We have five works in the collection by Mary Fedden two of which were gifts from Mary to the University. The most recent gift was given in 2003, a pencil and wash work which features a mug belonging to her husband, the artist Julian Trevelyan, who died in 1988.
