Dulwich Picture Gallery has acquired Rob and Nick Carter's Bronze Oak Grove installation for £176,500, marking its first art acquisition in 12 years.
The Carters' installation responds to Dutch artist Jacob de Gheyn II's work, bridging dimensions of historical art with modern technologies like enhanced 3D scanning and bronze casting.
Their piece is part of the Transforming series, reinterpreting historic artworks; this particular piece reflects a major transition in artistic styles from Mannerism to naturalism.
The gallery's acquisition represents a pivotal moment within its £5m Open Art initiative, aiming to establish London’s first gallery-based sculpture garden, highlighting connections to historic artwork.
