The Arup Collection has its origins in the earliest years of the firm. This exhibition shows a selection of works in different media as well as furniture from Arup’s first offices. Ove Arup had a keen interest in the arts. In 1948, he became a member of the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London and retained an enthusiasm for collecting throughout his life which was shared by the firm’s founding partners. The Collection includes works by artists who pushed the boundaries of their medium in the post-war period like R B Kitaj and John Piper whom Arup worked with on Coventry Cathedral.
