University Art Collection
Founded in 1965, the University of Warwick’s art collection features major works by some of the most exciting artists of the last few decades.
About the Collection
The collection was established to showcase work by young artists that would inspire and challenge campus visitors.
The collection features some of the most exciting artists of the last few decades including Andy Goldsworthy, Eduardo Paolozzi, Zarina Bhimji, Richard Deacon, Laura Ford and Clare Woods.
Spanning over 1000 works across painting, photography, print, ceramics and sculpture, this remarkable collection can be enjoyed in buildings and outdoor spaces throughout the University of Warwick campus.
Warwick Arts Centre itself features two specially commissioned pieces by Richard Wentworth and Mark Titchner.
You can also visit and explore 24 outdoor sculptures which are installed across campus, along footpaths, in green spaces, in woods and by lakes as part of our Sculpture Park.
