National Treasures is a key strand of the National Gallery’s programme celebrating its bicentenary. A year-long festival of art, creativity and imagination marks two centuries of bringing people and paintings together.
York Art Gallery is one of twelve partners participating in National Treasures, and will host a masterpiece from the National Gallery’s outstanding collection to celebrate this occasion. Claude Monet’s ‘The Water-Lily Pond’ (1899) will be the central feature of the major new exhibition at York Art Gallery which will bring together key loans from regional and national institutions alongside collection works, and a large-scale commission by contemporary artist Michaela Yearwood-Dan.
Lucy Coutts, Head of JM Finn’s York office has outlined why sponsorship of the exhibition resonates with the firm: “The National Treasures initiative is incredibly exciting and very much chimes with us; where the National Gallery are looking to make these paintings accessible, so we aim to make wealth management more accessible to help individuals meet their financial challenges. We are proud to be a part of this wonderful exhibition which gives us a unique opportunity to cement our presence in York.”
The exhibition will run at the York Art Gallery until 8th September 2024.
