An overlooked collection of modern African art in Argyll and Bute schools has been rediscovered by academics at the University of St Andrews. New research reveals that they are by some of the continent’s most notable modernist artists; together they provide a range of insights into the interests and concerns that pervaded the era of independence. The collection, which belongs to Argyll and Bute Council will now go on public display.
