Specialist note

‘I loved my time at Goldsmiths college in the early 80’s and am very happy to offer a specially made painting to help raise funds for the new gallery. I feel I owe a great deal to the institution and the teachers, technicians and students I met whilst there. Having an active and high profile, purpose built gallery within an art school is a radical and exciting idea typical of Goldsmiths. For a long time Goldsmiths has offered some of the best art courses in England, training and enabling generations of successful and active artists. This is an ambitious project that breaks boundaries and conventions and should make the college an even more exciting and inspiring place to study’
Julian Opie, 2015.
