The Exhibition of the Royal Scottish Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, The Ninety-Fourth, 1920
Start Date: 24 April 1920
End Date: 21 August 1920
Type: Annual exhibition
Description: Annual Exhibitions of the Royal Scottish Academy have been held in the spring of each year since 1827.
'To meet the possible shortage of work arising out of the still unsettled conditions, both at home and abroad, this year a special effort has been made secure to the assistance of Scottish Sculptors practising throughout Great Britain. The response to an appeal addressed to them by the Academy has been markedly successful; with the result that a representation of native talent in that department has been brought together not hitherto equalled in these Galleries.'
Some works for sale.
Policy: To encourage the practice of the Fine Arts in Scotland by showing to the public representative collections of works mainly from Scottish artists of the time.
Works shown at the RSA Annual Exhibition should be by living artists only, although a few works in reality were exhibited posthumously. Most works were submitted, although a number were 'invited' (RSA Dictionary, vol. 1, p. xv).
In addition to the Annual Exhibitions the Academy occasionally places on view, at another season of the year, memorial collections of the works of eminent artists recently deceased.
