Art “Saved” By A Nation

To avoid letting important artwork be bought and shipped out of Britain, Britons have bought many artworks over the past century. The Saved! show at the Hayward Gallery in London features some 400 artworks “saved” in this manner. The show features work by Michelangelo, Velasquez, Boticelli, Picasso, Mondrian, Rodin and Titian. “It is dedicated to sculptures, paintings and treasures saved by the National Art Collections Fund over the past 100 years.”
