The White Gallery has a changing programme of exhibitions, presenting the work of contemporary Scottish and International artists through solo, retrospective, and thematic exhibitions. The Georgian Gallery is an impressive neoclassical interior, originally designed by William Playfair. Recently refurbished this room now hosts vibrant historic, experimental and academic exhibitions. The upper level of the gallery displays a selection from The University Torrie Collection; a bequest of predominantly seventeenth century Dutch paintings.

Beholder

19 November 2011 — 18 February 2012 *on now

In 2011 the University of Edinburgh celebrates the tercentenary of David Hume. In this context Talbot Rice Gallery has put beauty in the frame with Beholder, an exhibition exploring taste and subjectivity in the visual arts. The premise was simple: we invited artists, individuals and organisations across Scotland to nominate a work of art they consider to be beautiful. The works are now displayed in the gallery space, setting up dynamic visual dialogues to form a contemporary portrait of beauty.
