Vital Fragments: Nigel Henderson and the Art of Collage

The artist Nigel Henderson (1917–1985) pursued a career that spanned fine art, photography, exhibition-making and interior design initiatives. This research project, which was co-led by Mark Hallett and Rosie Ram (Royal College of Art), and run in collaboration with Tate Britain, generated a Spotlight display at Tate Britain entitled Vital Fragments: Nigel Henderson and the Art of Collage, an accompanying guide, and a series of 12 short films. Together, they offer an extended examination of the collage practice that underpinned Henderson’s thinking and creative production.
