Jack Vettriano painting in National Gallery of Scotland

Paintings by Sir William McTaggart, L. S. Lowry, Jack Vettriano and David Hockney are among art from the Royal Bank of Scotland’s private collection, which will soon be on public display.

RBS confirmed yesterday that it has held discussions with the National Galleries of Scotland and a number of other institutions to mount exhibitions of work chosen from the 2,200 pieces it holds. The bank was saved from collapse last year only by government intervention, and is 70 per cent owned by the taxpayer. Company officials said that the move to open up its collection “fell into the camp of doing things differently”, and showed it working in the public interest. This would be the first time that Vettriano's work would be on display in an art gallery outside of his home town of Kirkcaldy. Vettriano has made a lot of his rejection by the art establishment but this might be a sign of his acceptance by a major museum. Vettriano is Britain's best selling artist. He has sold thousands of copies of the Singing Butler . His limited edition prints are much sought after by his fans.

Rolf Harris has just published a set of four new limited edition prints . The pictures are Summer Afternoon, Hammersley Red Rocks , Sun on the Water , Tresco and First Snow, Hyde Park Horses . The stand-out image for me is Hammersley Red Rocks which has vivid colours , no doubt as the Australian bush is . Rolf is keeping busy even though he is into his seventies by now .

Jack Vettriano rebuffed an offer from the National Galleries of Scotland (NGS), claiming he was finally asked to paint a portrait for its collections – only to turn the opportunity down because he did not like the subject , golfer Colin Montgomerie. Vettriano's long running dispute with arts establishment shows no sign of abating. He has consistently been ignored by all the major galleries

Is Robin Gunningham Banksy ?

A Sunday newspaper has claimed that artist Robin Gunningham is the real Banksy . It did extensive research over 2 years and claims that it has verified Banksy's real identity . Urban artist Bansky has turned the art world upside down with his impish sense of humour and images which veer from striking to mediocre . His work has been sold in top art auctions all over the world. Recently a couple sold a trailer which featured a painting by Banksy
