HAM HOUSE VISIT BY ADVISORY COUNCIL Following the March 2013 Advisory Council meeting, ten Council members and staff from the Paul Mellon Centre travelled to Ham House, the grand 17th-century property on the River Thames, as guests of the National Trust. The National Trust were the recipients of a Curatorial Research Grant in 2009 which supported their research curator Helen Wyld for three years to research and catalogue the National Trust tapestry collection. Helen, who is nearing the end of the three-year project, gave a fascinating and scholarly presentation which showed the scope and depth of her research. Many of the tapestries she has catalogued are now on the National Trust’s online catalogue http://www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/ Staff at Ham House also gave the group a tour of the house, with some privileged access behind cordons and into areas not normally on the visitor route. The National Trust tapestry cataloguing project has been exemplary and one which the Paul Mellon Centre has been pleased to support.

revelatory exhibition of oil sketches by Constable and Turner from Tate’s collection, which will travel later this year to Turner Contemporary, Margate. At Christchurch Mansion, Emma Roodhouse is showcasing a new landscape gallery, featuring two iconic works by Constable of his parents’ flower and vegetable gardens, while at Petworth House, curator Andy Loukes has just completed a phenomenally successful winter exhibition, ‘Turner’s Sussex’. The Spencer Gallery in Cookham, which relies entirely on voluntary staff, notably archivist Ann Danks, continues to punch above its weight, with a new exhibition, ‘Perspectives on Love’, which opened to the public on 28 March. Southampton Art Gallery, curated by the passionate and hugely knowledgeable Tim Craven, houses the best collection of modern and contemporary British art outside the Tate. In Bath the newly revitalised Holburne Museum hosts an exhibition of Shakespearean portraits, while the Victoria Art Gallery has recently installed its first floor galleries with major works by historic and modern British artists. In March 2013, we held a small workshop at the Paul Mellon Centre involving museum professionals from Gallery, Cookham, Berkshire Compton Verney, the Laing Art Gallery, the Russell- Cotes Museum, Turner Contemporary, Gainsborough’s In November 2012 the Paul Mellon Centre launched a House, and the Holburne Museum, Bath. In this new initiative aimed at gaining greater insights into the workshop, Mark Hallett and I discussed our new collections, displays and exhibitions of British art in initiative and considered the next steps. Foremost among British regional museums. Since November I have been the outcomes was the perceived need for regional making a series of visits to regional museums (on average museums to share information and develop networks for two a month), listening to curators talk about the displays and exhibitions. We look forward to exploring challenges that face them and informing them, in turn, these possibilities in the months and years to come. about the role of the Paul Mellon Centre in providing Martin Postle support and opportunities for sharing information and networking. To date I have focussed on smaller regional museums. I began in November with visits to Leamington Spa Art Gallery, Compton Verney and Turner Contemporary, Margate. In December I visited Christchurch Mansion, Ipswich, and earlier this year Derby Museum and Gallery, Petworth House, Southampton City Art Gallery, The Holburne Museum and Victoria Art Gallery, Bath, and the Stanley Spencer Gallery, Cookham. Despite the challenges of funding and curatorial resources faced by these institutions, I was impressed greatly by the range of displays, the quality of collections, and above all by the depth of curatorial knowledge and commitment. Leamington, curated by Chloe Johnson, exhibits a broad range of British art from traditional local painters such as Stephen Bone and Emily Ledbrook to contemporary artists, Marc Quinn and Edmund de Waal. At Derby, the magnificent collection of oil paintings by native painter, Joseph Wright, has recent been reinstalled by curator Lucy Bamford. Compton Verney, under the direction of Steven Parissien, will host this summer a Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum, Warwickshire COLLECTIONS THE PAUL MELLON CENTRE Collections News
