This unusual collaborative exhibition brought together work from the Devonshire and Rubell Family Collections – pieces from the Devonshire Collection had been selected by the Rubell Family, while pieces from the Rubell Collection were selected by Lord and Lady Burlington. The complex relationships that exist between the collector, the artwork and the passage of time are explored, and the viewer may have been prompted to question their own preconceptions of what is meant by the ‘historical’ and the ‘contemporary’. Artists who work was exhibited included : Darren Almond, Hernan Bass, Cecil Beaton, Carlo Cignani, Dara Friedman, Thomas Gainsborough, Ezra Johnson, Peter Lely, Simon Martin, Henry Turner Munns, Jacco Olivier, Joshua Reynolds, Anri Sala, Gregor Schneider, Teniers Tapestry, Anthony van Dyck, Jean Baptiste van Loo, Artur Zmijewski. The Devonshire Collection is one of the great private collections, housed at Chatsworth House, Derbyshire, England and Lismore Castle, the Irish home of the Devonshire family. Amassed by generations of the Cavendish family, from Sir William Cavendish and his wife Bess of Hardwick in the 16th century through to the current Duke of Devonshire, the Collection has developed over 500 years. The Rubell Family Collection is one of the leading collections of contemporary art in the world and includes a research library with over 30,000 volumes. Housed in a permanent museum in Miami, USA, and open to the public since 1996, the Collection features work dating from the 1960s to the present day with rotating exhibitions including work by the world’s foremost contemporary artists. The Collection began soon after Don and Mera Rubell were married in 1964 and at a relatively young age, their son, Jason and their daughter, Jennifer, joined their parents in expanding the Collection which is now known as the Rubell Family Collection. Many of the works that were on display had never been seen before in public, and this exhibition provided an unprecedented opportunity to view unfamiliar work by leading contemporary artists juxtaposed in a unique environment with historical work from the Devonshire private collection." - publisher's website.
