The Scottish Gallery of Modern Art & Dean Gallery
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and Dean Gallery
Home to Scotland’s outstanding national collection of modern and contemporary art, the modern art galleries include the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the nearby Dean Gallery.
Both Galleries are set in extensive parkland, where visitors can discover sculpture works by important artists like Ian Hamilton Finlay, Henry Moore, Rachel Whiteread and Barbara Hepworth. The lawn to the front of the Gallery of Modern Art was re-landscaped in 2002 to a design by Charles Jencks. This dramatic work, or ‘landform’, comprises a stepped, serpentine mound reflected in three crescent-shaped pools of water.
The collection of the Gallery of Modern Art ranges from the 1900s right up to the present day. Highlights include works by Vuillard, Bonnard, Matisse, Picasso, Kirchner and Dix; a superb selection of paintings by Scottish artists such as Peploe, Fergusson, Gillies and Redpath; postwar work by Bacon, Freud, Davie, Hockney, Balthus and Lege, and more recent work by artists including Baselitz, Antony Gormley and Damian Hirst. The Dean Gallery shows special exhibitions and works from the Gallery’s internationally renowned Dada and Surrealist collection alongside pieces by Eduardo Paolozzi, including a full recreation of the artist’s studio. Both galleries include fantastic shops and cafés.
This winter The Scottish Gallery of Modern Art & Dean Gallery are home to Carol Rhodes from 1 December to 24 February and Back to the Future: Sir Basil Spence 1907-1976 from 19 October to 10 February.
