This is Modern Art! showcases over a century of modern and contemporary paintings, sculptures, drawings, watercolours and prints from Norwich Castle’s collection.

The exhibition is a great opportunity to see a number of magnificent works of art bequeathed by Lady Adeane to the East Anglia Art Fund in 1993, including René Magritte’s magisterial oil La Condition humaine (1935), Marc Chagall’s watercolour L’Artiste dans son atelier and Andy Warhol’s affectionate portrait of Lady Adeane’s King Charles spaniel Pom (1976), as well as works by other internationally renowned artists such as Lucian Freud, Paul Gauguin, Gilbert and George and Sandra Blow.

The rarely-seen masterpieces and recent acquisitions testify to the eclectic and rich mix of art collected by Norwich Castle over the last century.
