Art UK

Art education charity Art UK has been working on digitally recording all public artworks in the UK.

Art UK has launched a fundraising auction called Buy Art to Help Art UK which closes on September 30.

Public access to artworks in UK collections has been given a boost with a tie up between Bloomberg Philanthropies and Art UK.

A picture in Liverpool’s Walker Art Gallery has emerged as an original Anthony van Dyck (1599–1641) portrait.

A thousand of the UK’s public sculptures have been digitally catalogued with 150,000 to follow by the end of next year.

Britain will be the first nation to have an online catalogue of every publicly owned sculpture. Art UK has announced a plan to digitise images of Britain's 170,000 publicly owned sculptures by 2020.

A media report of a spat between two of television’s best known art detectives – dealers Philip Mould and Bendor Grosvenor – has not been denied by the dealers when contacted by ATG.

Do you know who this bespectacled gentlemen is? Or whose hand is behind this painting of ‘Laomedon Refusing Payment to Poseidon and Apollo’? If you think you do, you could become an art detective for the nation.

Dealer and art historian Dr Bendor Grosvenor is fronting a new series called ‘Britain’s Lost Masterpieces’ on BBC Four.

A project to create a free, comprehensive photo catalogue online of all the sculptures held in UK public collections has moved a step closer thanks to a £2.84m pledge of support from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

Public collections in need of information about their oil paintings can be connected with specialists and members of the public with relevant knowledge thanks to a scheme called Art Detective.

A unique free online resource that gives access to thousands of paintings in public collections across the UK is due to be completed in December.

The practical use of the Public Catalogue Foundation to the art trade is certainly obvious to Mayfair dealer Philip Mould, who is one of the project’s sponsors.

AN ambitious project to record every oil painting in public ownership across the UK has started with the backing of leading lights of the art world.
