Glasgow Museums has a growing collection of photography by Scottish artists post 2000. The collection consists of documentary photography, landscape, portraiture, and conceptual work. Artists include Anthony Schrag, Beagles & Ramsay, Ilana Halperin, and Iseult Tinnermans. A main strand of the collection focuses on the Glasgow art scene itself. We have acquired a collection of over 33 photographs by Alan Dimmick who has been photographing exhibitions and events since the 1980’s. Many of the artists featured in their early career have gone on to great success and now have work in Glasgow Museums collection. In recent years we have commissioned Mathew Arthur Williams to take portraits of artist who are in the collection, or we have worked with, to try and open up the lens of which we look at our collection and artists through.
