    Albert Irvin, Beacon II, 1994 Acrylic on canvas 186 x 160cm [detail] Albert Irvin Albert Irvin OBE RA was born in 1922 in London, where he continued to live and work throughout his life. In the early 1940’s Irvin attended Northampton School of Art. His studies were interrupted when he was called up, serving as a navigator in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. After the war ended he enrolled at Goldsmiths College in London to resume his studies. In 1962, he returned to Goldsmiths where he taught for twenty years. He also taught as visiting lecturer at art colleges throughout Britain. Irvin’s first solo exhibition was in 1960 at 57 Gallery, Edinburgh followed by New Art Centre in London in 1963 and 1965. He went on to exhibit extensively throughout Europe, the USA and Australia. A major retrospective of his work from 1960 to 1989 was held at the Serpentine Gallery, London in 1990. Irvin was awarded a Travel Award to America by the Arts Council in 1968 and later received an Arts Council Major Award In 1970 he moved into his Studio in Stepney Green and continued travelling to work there from his home at least 3 times a week into his 90s.

In 2017/18 we worked in all of Scotland’s 32 local authority areas to deliver a wide-ranging programme which included touring exhibitions and loans, community engagement projects, learning and digital programmes as well as support for collections development through the National Fund for Acquisitions, expert advice from our specialist staff and skills development through our National Training Programme. As part of our drive to engage young people in STEM learning (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths), we developed Powering Up, a national science engagement programme for schools. Funded by the ScottishPower Foundation, we delivered workshops on wind, solar and wave energy in partnership with the National Mining Museum, the Scottish Maritime Museum and New Lanark World Heritage Site. In January 2017, as part of the final phase of redevelopment of the National Museum of Scotland, we launched an ambitious national programme to support engagement with Ancient Egyptian and East Asian collections held in museums across Scotland. Funded by the National Lottery and the Esmée Fairbairn Collections Fund, the project is providing national partnership exhibitions and supporting collection reviews, skills development and new approaches to audience engagement. All of this work is contributing to our ambition to share our collections and expertise as widely as possible, ensuring that we are a truly national museum for Scotland.

  • EIGHT ARTISTS CATALOGUE 6 July 2015.Pdf
    THE LEMOND GALLERY SCOTTISH CONTEMPORARY ART AN EXAMINATION OF EIGHT ARTISTS FROM TWO CRITICAL PHASES OF SCOTTISH ART TRAINING TWO WEEKS - Saturday 18th July to Sunday 2nd August 2015 CONTEMPORARY SCOTTISH ART AN EXAMINATION OF EIGHT ARTISTS FROM TWO CRITICAL PHASES OF SCOTTISH ART TRAINING BACKGROUND It is somewhat logical that, as we look at the Contemporary Scottish Art offering, we should find the roots of what we are looking at within the key Scottish educational establishments. As Scotland prospered from its dominant position within the industrial revolution (1760-1840) and the wealthy Victorian era (1837-1901), patronage and interest in the arts expanded and new art schools emerged in all of the main population centres – the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) 1845, the Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) which can trace its development to 1760, formed the current institution in 1906, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee (DOJD) 1892 and lastly Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen (GSAA) 1885. These institutions, together with the formation of the various artist bodies incorporated by Royal Charter including the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA 1826), the Royal Glasgow Institute (RGI 1861) and the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW 1876) together with the Paisley Art Institute (PAI 1876) would underpin the central foundations of subsequent art development in Scotland. Scottish Art history records two significant periods of art development in this period – the social realism of the Glasgow Boys (1870-1910) and the Scottish Colourists (c.1920-1940), whose popular idiom embraced the earlier work of the French impressionists and post-impressionists.
