Derek Morris work acquired for Sainsbury collection

It is very appropriate that the Russia Season is currently showing at the Sainsbury Centre for the Visual Arts. The Radical Russia show includes the work of many of the Russian constructivists, whose legacy is continues within the whole modernist movement in British art and architecture. That tradition lives on in the practice of many contemporary artists, including our NCAS trustee and sculptor, Derek Morris. So it is a great pleasure to announce that the Sainsbury Centre has just acquired one of his key ceramic sculptures for its permanent collection. Derek studied sculpture at Newcastle and then Chelsea before moving to Norwich where for nearly twenty years he was Head of Sculpture at what was then Norwich School of Art, now NUA. He was President of the Royal Society of British Sculptors between 1998 and 2004 and has been a trustee of NCAS since 2005. Congratulations to Derek, and we hope that the work will go on show in the near future.
