How to get loans for an exhibition (ctd.)
November 8 2015
Picture: Tico Seifert
Further to my post about the painful negotiations sometimes required to secure museum loans, here's an interesting account from Dr Tico Seifert (above) of the Scottish National Gallery about his new show of landscapes lent by a single private collection. The exhibition came about first through a chance encounter, and involved a snowy off-road drive to the collector's home.
Update - the Scottish National Gallery has announced that five more works are being lent to this show. More here.
