Pangolin, one of the country’s premier sculpture galleries, has expanded beyond its space at the front of King’s Place not only by exhibiting large sculptures in and around the grounds but also prints in the foyers of the concert halls on the floors below. Its main space is currently hosting an exhibition called Murmur by Susie McMurray, comprising thought-provoking sculptures made in a wide range of materials. On entering one is immediately captivated by what looks at a huge flight of insects or birds across the ceiling, before coming back down to earth viewing boxes of eggs, fruit and even shards. There is a browser with prints from the entire stable of Pangolin artists. Both on the ground floor of the public space and outside sit some large sculptures none more impressive than pairs of Kings and Queens by Lynn Chadwick.in the concert hall foyers series of prints by a range of artists including the late but not much lamented Breon O’Casey, the much more alive Ann Christophers RA, Jon Buck, Ann Abrahams and William Ticker.

The Contemporary Art Society is a national charity that encourages an appreciation and understanding of contemporary art in the UK. With the help of our supporters, we raise funds to purchase works of contemporary art, which we give to museums and public galleries where they are enjoyed by a national audience. Since 1910 we have donated over 8,000 works to museums and public galleries - from Bacon, Freud, Hepworth and Moore in their day through to the influential artists of our own times - championing new talent, supporting curators, and encouraging philanthropy and collecting in the UK. Our HQ at 59 Central Street in London hosts a lively programme of talks, events and displays, showcasing the work that we do with artists and museums all over the country.
