Glasgow Museums 20th Century collection is presented at the Kelvingrove close to the River Kelvin, Glasgow University and the park. It includes an exceptionally good group of works by French artists, from Bonnard to Matisse and an iconic Salvador Dali painting, as well as a good representation of English artists. Naturally its strength in depth are with Scottish 20th Century artists, with strong representations through the Glasgow Boys and Scottish Colourists to the artists emerging from the Glasgow School of Art in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In this it has been helped by an exceptional director in T.J. Honeyman and monies from the Hamilton Trust and the William McInnes collection. Part Two: J.D. Fergusson to Charles Murray.

Artists featured in this Curation: John Duncan Fergusson (1874–1961), Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925–2006), Ian Fleming (1906–1994), Jean Fleming (1937–1988), Alan Fletcher (1930–1958), William Russell Flint (1880–1969), David Simpson Foggie (1878–1948), Othon Friesz (1879–1949), Roger Eliot Fry (1866–1934), Ethel Léontine Gabain (1883–1950), and 86 more
