* British Art at Yale

on BBC Radio 3

Earlier this summer the Yale Center for British Art was officially inaugurated at New Haven, Connecticut, to house what was the world's largest private collection of English paintings, drawings and rare books until Paul MeUon presented it to his alma mater. But Louis Kahn 's innovatory building is more than an art gallery; it is an integral part of the university.
In this report Philip French talks about the nature of the Center and discusses its role with the American director, Edmund Pillsbury , and his two British assistants. Malcolm Cormack. Curator of Paintings. and Andrew Wilton. Curator of Prints and Drawings.
