Exhibit A: William Scott

William Scott, Pan and Bowl, Blues on Green, 1970 Screenprint, The Trinity College Dublin Art Collections

Where would you expect to find this limited edition print by William Scott hanging? Above the fireplace of a Georgian pile in the country? A bank's head office? Actually, you are more likely to find it gracing the walls of a student's room in Trinity College.

This valuable piece of art is part of Trinity's College Gallery and, in a wonderful and quite unique scheme, every year a selection of works from the College Collection is put on display and students with rooms on campus are invited to ballot for the pieces to display in their own rooms. Successful applicants pay a small hire fee as both deposit and for an amount to be reinvested into expanding the Gallery.
