Glasgow Museums has a significant collection of international artworks from 1945 to the 2000. A number of international works were acquired for the Gallery of Modern Art opening in 1996 and are associated with Outsider Art **and World Cultures art***, these date from 1971 to 1990. Glasgow Museums continues to collect international work from the period between 1945 – 2000. Through the collecting scheme Art Fund International* (2007 - 12) we collect a significant number of works, both new and historic. We have continued to buy work from this period such as the photographic work, Gay Semiotics, 1978, by Hal Fisher, which we acquired in 2019. The collection also holds works by international artists such as Andy Warhol, Barbera Kruger, Fischlie & Weiss, Hong Song-Dam, Mathia Kauge, Niki de Saint-Phalle, Paddy Japalijarri, Robert Campbell Jr, Sims, Peter Hujar, Sebastian Salgado, & Weiss and Roni Horn. We continue to collect international work, please see CLDModern and Contemporary International Art Post 2000 ** Outsider Art is made by artists who are either not specifically trained to defined standards, or who are not from the same racial, cultural or social background as those who become professionally empowered to define art within a society. *** World Cultures art refers to contemporary art made in non-Western countries, such as art by indigenous people of Australia or Papua New Guinea. This category also includes art from Russia and Korea. Some of the World Cultures collection can also be considered Outsider Art. *Art Fund International: Art Fund International was a £5 million funding initiative launched by the Art Fund in 2007 in order to encourage UK museums and galleries to build outstanding collections of international contemporary art.
