This is the third major wave of displays celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. The fourteen new displays feature masterpieces from the Gallery’s world-famous Collection as well as exciting new works and commissions by international contemporary artists.

From the ARTIST ROOMS collection, there are spectacular large-scale sculptures by the American artist Robert Therrien and multi-part wall works by Gilbert & George. The Gallery will also be showing major new works by Boyle Family and Moyna Flannigan.

Leading Scottish artist, Elizabeth Blackadder, and the Gallery’s former director, Richard Calvocoressi, have each made selections from the Gallery’s collection, bringing together stunning pieces by Kokoschka, Vuillard and Rouault. Other displays include Russian Abstraction, Super-Realism and Scottish Modernism.
