The Little Gallery in Marlborough is hosting a three-week exhibition featuring a prestigious collection of 20th-century British art. The show spans the evolution of modernism from Impressionism to the 1960s Avant-Garde, showcasing works by iconic figures such as David Hockney, Elisabeth Frink, and Sandra Blow. Highlights include Anthony Whishaw’s 1967 painting inspired by Pink Floyd and a curated selection of increasingly collectible British studio ceramics.

dorset museum sherborne almshouse triptych

The Dorset Museum & Art Gallery in England has launched a fundraising campaign to acquire a rare 15th-century Netherlandish altarpiece, known as *The Master of the Sherborne Almshouse Triptych*, valued at up to £3.5 million ($4.6 million). The work is set to be auctioned by Sotheby’s in an Old Master evening sale next month, and the museum aims to prevent it from entering a private collection or being exported. The triptych, which depicts five healings of Jesus Christ, was hidden during periods of iconoclastic destruction and rediscovered in St. John’s Almshouse in Sherborne in the 19th century; it has only left the site twice, for exhibitions at the Royal Academy in 1923 and the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2003.
