Government Art Collection display:
The Justus Lipsius building, Brussels
The Government Art Collection is a unique British cultural resource. Developed over the past 100 years, the Collection contains works of art by a wide range of artists, and shows the vibrancy and variety of British artistic life and heritage from the sixteenth century to the present day.
Curators at the Government Art Collection select, place and commission art for major British Government buildings in the United Kingdom and around the world and in so doing play a significant role in promoting Britain – the art works are seen and enjoyed by thousands of visitors to Government buildings every year.
During the UK Presidency there will be a presentation of art in the European Union Presidency Suite of the EU Council Building, Brussels. The theme for the presentation will be geography, landscape, topographical and cultural mapping. The display positions the UK within a European, even global, physical and artistic framework and shows work in a variety of media including painting, photography and video.
