Books from the Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation collection, 2021
The material was donated to the Paul Mellon Centre by the Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation in December 2019 as a contribution to building an unrivalled resource for British art studies open to all.
The Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation was established in 2000 by members of the Fleming banking family who wished to secure the collection of Scottish art, which had been built up since 1968 to hang in the offices of the family bank in recognition of its founder, Robert Fleming, who hailed from Dundee. The library has been built up since 1968 as part of the Collection’s daily business and to support research into works in the collection. From 2000, the Fleming-Wyfold Art Foundation, a registered charity, has been endowed to care and enhance the Fleming Collection.
