About Cranford Collection
Since 2005, works of art from the Collection have been presented in the form of temporary installations at a private house located at Gloucester Gate in Regent’s Park. This unusual setting has enabled the Collection to explore original associations between artworks. It also offers the unique challenge of how to successfully present contemporary artworks in a domestic environment, demonstrating that the experience of an artwork can be constantly renewed by rotating the works exhibited.
In recent years, under the impulsion of its curator Anne Pontégnie, the Collection has grown and attempted to draw connections between the works it includes in order to increase its coherence, and to be able to develop publicly minded activities.
