Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust Patrons

We are now launching WBGT Patrons in order to further our financial support for young artists, art historians, and curators through residencies and targeted bursaries, and to enable Collection-focused projects to secure Barns-Graham’s work for future generations (including conservation, photography, digitisation, research, and publications). In the past twelve years the Trust has donated artworks and financial support to the value of over £1million.

Three paintings grouped on an orange background. From left to right: an abstract composition of randomly arranged small squares in browns and oranges on a red background; an abstract composition with squares of varying sizes in orange, green, black and white; a narrow vertical composition of loose brushstrokes in black, brown, red and white.
