Newcastle University is the highest ranked university in the UK for Art & Design (The Complete University Guide 2018) Newcastle’s diverse and lively arts scene goes hand in hand with the University’s long and distinguished history in the practice of Fine Art. Many distinguished artists have been associated with Newcastle, either as students or as teachers, and include, for example, Lawrence Gowing, Richard Hamilton, Victor Pasmore, Roy Ascott, Sean Scully and Susan Hiller. The department was a key player in the radical developments in art education that took place in the UK, and which led to the development of the course known as Basic Design. The department also houses the Hatton Gallery, which has recently undergone a two year re-development to provide a new home for works including one of the most iconic artworks of the twentieth century – the Elterwater ‘Merzbarn’, the final work of the German Dadaist Kurt Schwitters.
