Opening especially for Friends, we visit the former home of art collector Stanley Picker (1913–1982) to explore the paintings, sculptures and objects he gathered throughout his lifetime.
The collection is a fascinating account of London’s art market in the 1950s, as much was acquired through Picker’s personal relationships with gallery owners. The house, built by architect Kenneth Wood in 1968, is a late-modernist creation designed specifically to showcase the collection, which includes works by Chagall, Hepworth, Moore and many others.
Includes coffee.
