The Alan Woods Bequest

An exhibition celebrating The Alan Woods Bequest that was recently gifted to the University is open in the Cooper Gallery. The exhibits comprise paintings, drawings and prints from the collection which holds over 265 artworks by contemporary artists such as Elaine Shemilt, Edward Summerton, Graham Little, Ralph Rummey, Callum Innes, Ian Howard, Susan Hiller, Ronald Forbes, Clare Stephenson, Ian Hamilton-Finlay, Will MacLean, Alan Beveridge, David Armitage, Peter Greenaway and others.

Alan Woods founded and for five years edited Transcript, a journal of visual culture in which the artist's voice was given central place. Transcript will be relaunched on Friday at the private view of the exhibition with the first of the new series Sculpsit edited by Kerstin Mey available in the gallery.

The School of Fine Art has established a fund to endow an annual Alan Woods

Prize for the best honours degree dissertation by a fourth year student. Information about donations is available from the School of Fine Art.
