The Hatton Gallery is Newcastle University's art exhibition gallery in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and is a part of the Great North Museum. It is based in the University's Fine Art Building.

History

The Fine Art Building, home of the Hatton Gallery.

The Hatton Gallery was founded in 1925, by the King Edward VII School of Art, Armstrong College, Durham University (Newcastle University's Department of Fine Art), in honour of Richard George Hatton, a professor at the School of Art.[1]

In 1997 the University authorities voted to close down the gallery, but a widespread public campaign against the closure, leading to a £250,000 donation by Dame Catherine Cookson, ensured the survival of the gallery.[2]

As part of the Great North Museum project, the gallery will be given more resources, complimenting the Great North Museum: Hancock. Unlike the university's other collections, the Hatton Gallery will not be transferred into the Hancock, but be staying put in the Fine Art Building.[3]

Exhibitions

The permanent collection comprises over 3,500 works, some dating back to the 14th century. These works of art include paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings. It houses the Merzbarn - the only surviving Merz construction by Kurt Schwitters - as well as works by Francis Bacon, Victor Pasmore, William Roberts and Paolo di Giovanni.
