Talk by Ellis Waterhouse Barber Professor of Fine Arts in the University of Birmingham
The number of large international loan exhibitions of old masters has risen steeply in recent years, especially since the war. The speaker points out the unjustified risks to which irreplaceable works of art can be subjected; he suggests the time has come to reconsider the whole problem, and proposes a bill of rights both for works of art and for those who go to see them.
