Four works that consider family life have been acquired by the Contemporary Art Society at Frieze London in support of the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston. The Harris Museum and Art Gallery felt that this was an especially crucial time to acquire an artwork that explores family life and all that it means to come of age in 2021.
