JM Finn, a leading wealth management firm, has stepped forward as a sponsor for the eagerly anticipated National Treasures exhibition at the York Art Gallery, showcasing the iconic masterpiece ‘The Water-Lily Pond’ by Claude Monet.
The National Treasures exhibition stands as a significant component of the National Gallery’s programme commemorating its Bicentenary. This initiative aims to extend the reach of the National Gallery’s renowned collection across the United Kingdom, ensuring that more than half of the UK population, approximately 35 million individuals, are within an hour’s journey of experiencing a National Gallery masterpiece.
Under this initiative, each partnering venue, including the esteemed York Art Gallery, will receive a masterpiece from the National Gallery’s esteemed collection, around which they will curate their exhibitions. This endeavour encompasses interpretation, community engagement, and bespoke exhibitions tailored to the local context.
York Art Gallery, among twelve distinguished partners, has been selected to participate in the National Treasures programme, presenting a masterpiece from the National Gallery’s exceptional collection to mark this auspicious occasion.
The masterpiece, ‘The Water-Lily Pond’ by Claude Monet, will serve as the focal point of an extensive new exhibition. This exhibition will feature a blend of significant loans from both regional and national institutions alongside works from the gallery’s own collection.
The senior curator at York Art Gallery expressed enthusiasm, stating, “We are delighted to host this beautiful and beloved painting by Monet as part of the National Gallery’s Bicentenary celebrations. We eagerly await the opportunity to welcome visitors to York to witness the painting and the exhibition first hand.”
The Head of JM Finn’s York office articulated the firm’s excitement about the National Treasures initiative. She remarked, “The National Treasures initiative is incredibly exciting and very much resonates with us.
