Room 6
In many rooms on the second floor there are different elements of the collection in dialogue: art objects of various nature and origins, Arts & Crafts furniture, contemporary artworks and the new ceilings by David Tremlett.
Elisabeth Scherffig
A very large drawing by Elisabeth Scherffig shows piles of scrap metal. This disregarded workaday material takes on monumental proportions in the hands of this German artist.
James Whistler
Continuing right, in the middle, a watercolour by James Whistler, gifted by the artist to his favorite pupil, Walter Sickert, in 1884. You can see in this work that the Thames is reduced to a blue line and the Chelsea Reach buildings are a mere shimmer.
