Hart Gallery

Art in Situ - Corporate Collections

The Hart Gallery has recently been responsible for putting together a collection of artwork for the Bradford and Bingley (formerly the Bradford and Bingley Building Society) headquarters in London. The project has involved placing a total of 35 original works of art throughout the building. Working with the gallery artists, a number of works were selected for various locations including the reception area, the waiting room and the meeting room, creating an exciting and interesting environment for both employees and clients.

Having considered the values and ideas central to Bradford and Bingley, the Hart Gallery proposed a collection of artwork that somehow relates to these themes. As an organisation originally based in Yorkshire, the Hart Gallery artists selected for the Bradford and Bingley headquarters all have Yorkshire connections, be it as their birthplace, home, place of work, or more importantly, their inspiration.

Included in the collection are paintings by David Blackburn, Kenneth Draper and Malcolm Whittaker and a large platter by one of Britain’s most established ceramicists, Sutton Taylor. Just as these artists have developed in their artistic careers to become more renowned both nationally and internationally, so too has the Bradford and Bingley organisation.
