The Art UK website allows visitors to see digital copies of over 200,000
artworks from over 3,250 British museums and collections. Many of these
works are not physically on display, making the website the access
point to this large unseen percentage of art. Works digitized by Art UK
span several centuries, from a 2nd century AD Roman fresco of a bird
with cherries at the Victoria & Albert Museum to four stitched
portraits created by the artist Sorrell Kerrison in 2017 and 2018. These
portraits were commissioned by the Bolton Museum and Art Gallery in
Manchester, and there's a short video detailing Kerrison's process of
researching the subjects and stitching the portraits. Art UK is publicly
funded and partners include the BBC, Oxford University Press, the
Public Monuments and Sculpture Association, Culture 24, the Visual
Geometry Group at Oxford University, and the University of Glasgow. Art
UK's project for 2019 is documenting and digitizing UK sculptures.
