The Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art is internationally renowned for its core of Futurist works including major paintings by the movement’s main protagonists. It comprises some 120 paintings, drawings, watercolours, prints and sculptures by many of the most prominent Italian artists of the modernist era. There are six galleries, two of which are used for temporary exhibitions, on three floors. The library of over 2,500 books, primarily on 20th century Italian art, is an unrivalled resource for students of important modernist movements. Since opening in 1998, the Collection has established a considerable reputation as an important venue for bringing Italian art to the British public and has achieved both public and critical acclaim for its artistic and educational programmes.
