ロンドン / イギリス

ロンドン(英語: London [ˈlʌndən] )は、イギリスおよびこれを構成するイングランドの首都。 イギリスやヨーロッパ域内で最大の都市圏を形成している。ロンドンはテムズ川河畔に位置し、2000年前のローマ帝国によるロンディニウム創建が都市の起源である。ロンディニウム当時の街の中心部は、現在のシティ・オブ・ロンドン(シティ)にあたる地域にあった。シティの市街壁内の面積は約1平方マイルあり、中世以来その範囲はほぼ変わっていない。少なくとも19世紀以降、「ロンドン」の名称はシティの市街壁を越えて開発が進んだシティ周辺地域をも含めて用いられている。ロンドンは市街地の大部分はコナベーションにより形成されている。ロンドンを管轄するリージョンであるグレーター・ロンドンでは、選挙で選出されたロンドン市長とロンドン議会により統治が行われている。

Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art

ロンドン / イギリス

The Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art is a museum in Canonbury Square in the district of Islington on the northern fringes of central London. It is the United Kingdom's only gallery devoted to modern Italian art and is a registered charity under English law.The Estorick Collection was founded by American sociologist and writer Eric Estorick , who began to collect art when he moved to England after the Second World War. Estorick and his German-born English wife Salome discovered Umberto Boccioni’s book Futurist Painting and Sculpture while they were on their honeymoon in 1947. Before the end of their trip they visited erstwhile Futurist Mario Sironi in Milan and bought most of the contents of his studio, including hundreds of drawings. They built up the collection mainly between 1953 and 1958. The collection was shown in several temporary exhibitions, including one at the Tate Gallery in London in 1956, and the key works were on long-term loan to the Tate from 1966 to 1975. The Estoricks rejected offers to purchase their collection from the Italian government and museums in the United States and Israel. Six months prior to his death Eric Estorick set up the Eric and Salome Estorick Foundation, to which he donated all his Italian works. The Estorick Collection moved to its current premises in Northampton Lodge, previously the home and office of Sir Basil Spence, the British architect, a converted Grade II-listed Georgian house, in 1998. The project was supported by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The core of the collection is its Futurist works, but it also includes figurative art and sculpture dating from 1890 to the 1950s. It features paintings by Futurism's main protagonists: Giacomo Balla, Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Gino Severini, Luigi Russolo and Ardengo Soffici, and works by Giorgio de Chirico, Amedeo Modigliani, Giorgio Morandi, Mario Sironi and Marino Marini. In addition to the main displays from the permanent collection, the Estorick Collection organises temporary exhibitions.
