Since our foundation in 1826, international artists have been part of the fabric of the Royal Scottish Academy and have helped to shape the wider story of art in Scotland. In 2020, our Collections received a significant studio gift from the family of sculptor Benno Schotz RSA (1891-1984), who came to Scotland from Estonia in 1912. This exhibition showcases this important gift alongside the work of first-generation immigrant artists who have made Scotland their home and have gone on to be elected as Royal Scottish Academicians.
Exhibitors: Benno Schotz (1891-1984) [Estonia] | Ade Adesina [Nigeria] | Fanindra Nath Bose (1888-1926) [India] | Thomas Joshua Cooper [USA] | Joe Fan [Hong Kong] | Beth Fisher [USA] | Ilana Halperin [USA] | John Lavery (1856-1941) [Ireland] | Otto Leyde (1835-1897) [Prussia] | Leena Nammari [Palestine] | Jacki Parry [Australia] | William John Thomson (1771-1845) [USA] | Phoebe Anna Traquair (1852-1936) [Ireland]
