The British Council Collection

The Collection is made up of artworks by British artists. Our policy is to buy works by artists early in their careers, so we have a number of extraordinary works from the mid-20th Century by Lucian Freud, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson amongst others. We try to buy artworks which demonstrate the very best in contemporary British practice in all medias, from painting and sculpture to printmaking, photography, installation and new media.
