Institutional and Business Connections

Received complaint from Royal Society of British Sculptors
1907 (Presumed) - 1909 (Presumed)
George Frampton brought attention to the poor condition of sculptures at Tate; works were dirty. Suggested that the Royal Society of British Sculptors should write to The Times. Charles Lawes-Wittewrouge suggested that, instead, they should make a report of conditions and suggestions for action and send it to National Gallery at Millbank. Frampton, Goscombe-John and Thornycroft agreed to make a visit to the site to prepare missive [12 June 1907, Royal Society of British Sculptors: Minutes of Council Meetings, no.1]]. Letter approved [4 November 1907, Royal Society of British Sculptors: Minutes of Council Meetings, no.1].

Received complaint from Royal Society of British Sculptors
1938 - 1939
In 1938 the R.B.S. wrote to the Tate Gallery to complain that 'many works which used to be on view to the public have not been replaced since the building of the new gallery'. The 'Annual Report' from that year notes that as a result of this complaint 'a considerable number of works by British Sculptors have been brought up, but too many are still in the cellars and it is not proposed to let the matter drop', (p. 9). This issue was raised again in 1939, and supported by the Royal Academy. See 'Annual Report, 1939', (1940), p. 9.
