AUB Art Collection and The Gallery
This week, we have been deinstalling the Sir Frank Bowling artwork from the Library.
Sir Frank Bowling is an AUB Honorary Fellow, making this work a particularly significant part of the University’s Art Collection.
The artwork, is on loan to the University from a private collector.
The artwork is now on its way to London for a three-month exhibition at Hales Gallery, as part of Frieze.
We look forward to welcoming the artwork back to AUB following its exhibition.

It reflects the diverse creative practices of the AUB community and includes work by notable artists and designers such as Ian McKeever, Sir Peter Cook, Philip Townsend, Alan Kitching, Rob and Roberta Smith, Martyn Brewster, Lester Lee, and Marcel Lamb.
Alongside AUB’s own collection, The Gallery also cares for works on loan from the John & Barbara Weeks Private Collection, Tim Harrison, and Bournemouth & Poole College.
The Gallery is responsible for the curation, management, preservation, and care of these collections, with works displayed throughout the University.
