Project will showcase Victorian art
The rich artistic culture of Victorian Britain will be showcased in a three-year research project which will culminate in an exhibition on both sides of the Atlantic.
Sculpture from the Victorian era is found in public spaces in the UK and around the world and many museums and galleries have significant collections, yet remarkably little is known about many of the artists behind the works. Dr Jason Edwards, from York University, will work with Prof Michael Hatt, from Warwick University, and the Yale Center for British Art on the study, which will finish with the exhibition in both the USA and the UK.
The project is being funded by a 410,000 grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
