Introduction
A collection held with its archive
The Loder Collection brings together works gathered by Robert Loder CBE (1934–2017), whose support for artists — particularly through the Triangle network — was as important as the objects themselves.
This site is a way into that holding: a smaller, more intimate catalogue than a museum, with the archive of relationships, workshops and publications sitting alongside the works.
