Compton Verney Annual Review 2014 [Type text] Compton Verney Annual Review 2014 1 Item zItem Item dfedadfa From the Chair Compton Verney affects each visitor in a unique way. Every experience is different as the landscape and the art inspires, energises and relaxes, allowing each of us to have our own experience with art – to pause from our everyday lives, and reflect. Compton Verney was created to be an art gallery for everyone. There are no rules here as to what is possible or impossible; accordingly, we have tried to create a place that can speak to everyone, whatever their experience or knowledge of art. I am reminded of this so often when speaking to visitors who have come to Compton Verney. Just as every artist reflects their own personality, their own experience and their own time in history, so each visitor brings their own life to the art and the landscape – and takes away something different. Family groups are particularly interesting: a child can see things in entirely different ways, and trigger childrens’ perspectives ideas among the adults. Speaking to one family this year, I met an eight-year old girl fascinated by the saints in the Northern European collection, whose parents now found themselves discussing biblical stories and iconography. It was certainly not what they had expected their child to be interested in, and brought back memories and ideas from their own lives. It was an interesting, questioning conversation, but also filled with energy and laughter. I am so thrilled that this family took away a new, shared experience, and have rediscovered an appetite to include more art in their lives. Compton Verney is still a young art gallery, a hidden treasure that is becoming increasingly central to the cultural life of the region and the nation. Visitor feedback will be essential as we continue to work on the development of our ‘Capability’ Brown setting, which will bring new life and new possibilities to the park and extend our visitors’ enjoyment of Compton Verney. Visitor reviews give us the power of personal recommendation, enabling us to reach out beyond traditional audiences to reach new visitors who might not otherwise have thought of coming to an art gallery set in a breath taking historic landscape. We want to make Compton Verney a place which inspires, which provokes thought and which enables relaxation: the perfect introduction to art; the perfect way to experience English landscape at its best; the perfect day out. Help us to achieve that ambition. Kirsten Suenson-Taylor Chair of Board of Trustees 2 Our Collections and Grounds During 2014 over 70,000 people visited Compton Verney’s collections, grounds and exhibitions. The special display Art from Ammunition: Trench Art from the First World War (15 July -14 December) demonstrated the remarkable creativity of soldiers, prisoners of war, civilian internees and refugees, many of whom created extraordinary objects from the everyday by-products of the First World War. Drawn from a local private collection, the objects originated from over 25 of the countries directly involved in the war. Bequests to the Marx-Lambert collection by Eleanor Breuning, Enid Marx’s executor, including a number of Marx-designed neckties donated by Katia Marsh (whose uncle was Marx’s brother). The successful de-accession of a major work by Bernardo Strozzi, through a process carefully guided and monitored by The Museums Association and Arts Council England. Both bodies subsequently applauded the manner in which we conducted the disposal, and are now promoting our de-accession nationally as an exemplar of good practice. The disposal has also provided Compton Verney with its first Acquisitions Fund. Additional planting to embellish areas close to the Chapel, throughout the Ice House Coppice and in the East Park. Seeding areas of the coppice with wild flowers to increase bio-diversity and interest and planting the Dan Pearson/William Morris meadow, to be ready for summer 2015. Conducting HLF-funded wildlife surveys, some in collaboration with the British Trust for Ornithology (which recorded more than 80 bird species on-site). Expansion of the popular grounds blog, whose visitors rose from 2,621 in 2013 to 3,679 in 2014; increased digital media activity by the Head of Landscape; and the establishment of a Compton Verney grounds Flickr group. The re-settling of our bee colonies in their four new, secure hives. The extension of our programme of grounds walks, led by the Head of Landscape and Gardens. Building partnerships with Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, the CB300 Festival Committee and Warwickshire College. 3 Exhibitions 15 February - 31 August 2014 Moore Rodin A ground-breaking international exhibition, organised in collaboration with the Musée Rodin and the Henry Moore Foundation, which compared the works of two giants of modern sculpture. Of the 160 works, 11 were large scale pieces in the grounds – including one of Rodin’s most famous works, Monument to the Burghers of Calais (usually on display outside the Houses of Parliament) and Moore’s magnificent, monumental Three Piece Sculpture: Vertebrae. Superb! What a privilege to have a world-class exhibition in the middle of Warwickshire. Compton Verney is an absolute gem. Thanks for making it available to us. (Visitor comment) 27 September -14 December 2014 British Folk Art The first major exhibition of its kind in the UK to celebrate the energy, variety and inventiveness of Britain’s unsung, often self-taught and anonymous folk artists, this exhibition – organised with Tate – comprised 180 remarkable and spectacularly displayed objects in a huge variety of media from collections across the UK (including our own), and incorporated ships’ carvings, quirky trade signs, toby jugs, pin cushions and bone objects made by soldiers, as well as reproductions of famous art works by embroiderer Mary Linwood and paintings by Alfred Wallis. An inspirational and quite emotional experience. Shows what art is all about. (Visitor comment) 4 Learning: Families, Adults, Schools and Colleges We all enjoyed making fantastical animals – grown-ups and children alike. Thank you for such a welcoming and inspiring space. Lovely to make art surrounded by all the prints, instead of in a separate room. (The Moyse-Brown Family) Summer artspace was brilliant. Really enjoyed the activities, they were great fun and all the children I brought participated from 5 – 12 years. The staff were so helpful and made us feel very welcome. (Visitor comment) 4,600 school pupils took part in programmes connected to the exhibitions and collection, including a record number of secondary school visits. Continued expansion and growth in popularity of Forest School sessions, including the introduction of a new Early Years programme. Major additions to the events programme, including an enormously successful 10th Birthday Party in May, which attracted over 1,300 people, and Viva Italia!, a month of talks, music and other activities in September. Over 10,265 families and visitors participating in our activities and events programme, 2,000 more than in 2013. This figure, however, does not include the many thousands more who enjoyed the trails, backpacks, and other programmes devised to enhance the experience of our exhibitions, collections and park. What was so brilliant was the energy and expertise of our interpreter. Our day was really well organised, the approach extremely professional, but overall her attention to the children and the needs for their age group was spot on. The comments from the pupils were so positive and you must be congratulated on what I felt was a contribution to the pupils learning and enjoyment (hopefully for ever!) of art galleries and exhibitions. (Penny Smith, Head of Art, Winterfold House School) 5 Fundraising 2014 was a transformational year in fundraising for Compton Verney as we pursued both match funding for the HLF grant application and general funding for other aspects of our work. As described in detail below, we raised £756,000 in cash and pledge payments and an additional £442,000 in new pledges in 2014, totalling almost £1.2 million.* Highlights included: Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF): During 2014, our Round Two HLF application was submitted with full designs, planning permission, activity plan and business plan for £2.5 million to support our Park Restoration Project Statutory fundraising generated £474,000 in cash and pledges, including: £89,000 from the Arts Council Designation Fund for the redisplay of the Chinese collection £123,412 from the Arts Council Capital Grants Scheme for the installation of energy efficient lights, Wi-Fi and enhanced air handling units in the galleries £10,000 from the Big Lottery Fund Awards for All to develop our volunteer programme, and £15,000 Arts Council Grants for the Arts award for the installation of Kern Baby by Faye Claridge in the grounds in 2015. Trust grants and pledges in 2014 totalled £327,000 – a 38% increase on 2013. These included: £75,000 from Garfield Weston, £47,000 from Fidelity UK and £125,000 from the Wolfson Foundation towards a new welcome centre for Compton Verney £25,000 from The Country Houses Foundation, towards the restoration of the Chapel In addition… The number of Benefactors (Bronze, Silver and Gold levels) continued to rise, to 88. An opera in July, which was inspired by the leadership of Patron Bridget Barker, raised an impressive £27,000 Our first regular e-magazine, Inside Compton Verney, was sent to all Benefactors, Patrons and Supporters, members and the larger mailing base; The first four works of art were adopted through our ‘Adopt an Artwork’ scheme and an additional nine trees were adopted = raising, in total, over £4,900. We secured corporate sponsorship for our three Private Views. As always, we are tremendously grateful to those individuals and organisations that share our passion for art and all that Compton Verney has to offer.

  • 'Capability' Brown
    ‘Capability’ Brown & The Landscapes of Middle England Introduction (Room ) Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown was born in in the Northumbrian hamlet of Kirkharle to a family of yeoman-farmers. The local landowner, Sir William Loraine, granted him his first gardening job at Kirkharle Hall in . Demonstrating his enduring capacity for attracting aristocratic patrons, by the time he was twenty-five Viscount Cobham had promoted him to the position of Head Gardener at Stowe. Brown then secured a number of lucrative commissions in the Midlands: Newnham Paddox, Great Packington, Charlecote Park (Room ) and Warwick Castle in Warwickshire, Croome Court in Worcestershire (Room ), Weston Park in Staffordshire (Room ) and Castle Ashby in Northamptonshire. The English landscape designer Humphry Repton later commented that this rapid success was attributable to a ‘natural quickness of perception and his habitual correctness of observation’. On November Brown married Bridget Wayet. They had a daughter and three sons: Bridget, Lancelot, William and John. And in Brown set himself up as architect and landscape consultant in Hammersmith, west of London, beginning a relentlessly demanding career that would span thirty years and encompass over estates. In , coinciding directly with his newly elevated position of Royal Gardener to George , Brown embarked on several illustrious commissions, including Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, and Luton Hoo in Bedfordshire. He then took on as business partner the successful builder-architect Henry Holland the Younger. Two years later, in , Holland married Brown’s daughter Bridget, thus cementing the relationship between the two families. John Keyse Sherwin, after Nathaniel Dance, Lancelot Brown (Prof Tim Mowl) As the fashion for landscapes designed in ‘the Park way’ increased in of under-gardeners.

The area has been settled since the 6th Century and a thriving Saxon community existed at Warwick during the 9th Century. It is the Castle, however, which was first built in 1068 as part of the Norman fortification of the country, that provides the town with its major visitor attraction.
