WHAT THE PRESS AND OTHERS SAY ABOUT THE FLEMING COLLECTION...
“…a kind of national gallery of Scotland in exile.”

Scotland
, 20 January 2002

London
.”
Alexander Linklater, Evening Standard, 1 November 2001

Simon Rodway, Time Out, 17 April 2003
‘During the exhibition loaned from our collection ‘A Picturesque Pursuit: Scottish Landscapes from the National Gallery of
Scotland
’ The Fleming Collection became our
London
centre. Using the gallery as a backdrop for entertaining our patrons and guests we found the final four million pounds needed for the thirty million pound Playfair Fundraising Project.’
Peter Thierfeldt, Head of Fundraising, National Galleries of
Scotland
to 2002 to 2006
‘The Fleming Collection and its
London
gallery have become an embassy for Scottish art. Their varied exhibition programme shows the best of Scottish art and gives a platform for academic research and specialist shows such as the recent ‘Divided Selves: The Scottish Self-Portrait from the 17th Century to the Present Day’ which we collaborated on. We look forward to future collaborations over the next five years.’
James Holloway, Director, Scottish National Portrait Gallery,
Edinburgh
“...one of the most important collections in the world”
Anna Burnside, The Sunday Times, 6 May 2008
“From an arts journalist’s point of view, The Fleming Collection and its Keeper Selina Skipwith have proved an invaluable, independent resource on the Scottish art scene. It comes with no agenda, no politics, and as a London-based institution takes the long view of Scottish art.”
Tim Cornwell, Arts Correspondent for The Scotsman, 2009
“Two centuries of Scottish art are held on this marvellous collection, a rich resource for numerous shows...a sensitive instillation offers a myriad of intriguing contrasts, comparisons and continuities”
Financial Times 11 April 2009
“The London-based Fleming Collection is a national treasure that started life as a corporate collection over 40 years ago…it has grown into one of the most significant collections of Scottish art in the world”
The Herald, 16 May 2009
“Widely considered to be one of the finest collections of Scottish art...its aim today is to promote Scottish art to a wider audience”
Antiques Magazine, 1 August 2008
