Aquisition Note | Purchased in 2007. At the opening of the Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS) building, staff were allowed to display a large number of works of art from the GHAT (Grampian Hospitals Art Trust) collection. These made a very favourable impression and, as most of them were available for rental, staff arranged for the works to be left in place. The two pillow works were, however, part of a collection for sale and they were purchased afterwards. |
