You'll find a spectacular collection of paintings and sculpture by 20th century Italian artists at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, with a core of Futurist works by Balla, Boccioni, Carra, Russolo and Severini. The collection, housed here since 1994, also includes figurative art created between 1890 and 1950 by artists such as Modigliani, Marino Marini, Giorgio Morandi and Giorgio de Chirico. Eric Estorick (1913-93), American sociologist and writer, began collecting works of art when he came to live in England after World War II. He had a number of Hollywood clients including Lauren Bacall, Burt Lancaster and Billy Wilder and in 1960 founded the Grosvenor Gallery in London. This Georgian villa also hosts temporary exhibitions, educational events and runs an art library. There is a well stocked gallery shop, while the garden caf is a great place for alfresco lunches in the summer.
