On Thursday, 24th of August 2017, at a reception
in Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the eagerly awaited catalogue “Tapestries
from the Burrell Collection” was launched. Addressing the company, the Lord
Provost, Eva Bolander, acknowledged the international importance of the
tapestry collection and the connoisseurship of Sir William Burrell. The
catalogue is the fruit of many years of research undertaken by Glasgow Museums
in collaboration with Dr Elizabeth Cleland, Associate Curator at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York and Dr Lorraine Karafel, Associate
Professor at Parsons School of Design, New York. The catalogue was made
possible with the generous support of The Sir William Burrell Trust, Friends
of Glasgow Museums, The Aurelius Charitable Trust, The Esmee Fairburn Trust
and The Mercers’ Company.
