Opened
to in 1998, this is Britain's first gallery dedicated to modern
Italian art.
The
Estorick Collection is housed at the rear of Northampton Lodge,
a Grade II-listed Georgian building in Canonbury Square.
The elegant building was converted for the display by the
architect Nathaniel Gee, who has retained the 18th-century
proportions of its original interior.
The private collection was accumulated
by the American academic and art dealer Eric Estorick , 1913
- 93, and his wife Salome.
The
collection is dominated by Futurist artists including Russolo,
Severini, Balla, Carrŕ and Bocccioni. Other major Italian
artists represented include de Chirico and Modigliani.
The gallery has some long term loans from private collections
and changing exhibitions.
Library, café and shop.
