A REMARKABLE private collection of art is taking pride of place at a North Yorkshire museum this summer.
David Ross, co-founder of Carphone Warehouse, has lent 12 paintings and two sculptures to the Ryedale Folk Museum at Hutton-le-Hole.
They all feature or were created in Yorkshire and include works by major names like David Hockney, Barbara Hepworth, Tony Bevan and Harland Miller.
Museum director Jennifer Smith said: "Yorkshire is a county of diverse landscapes, cultures and people, and this collection incorporates so many different aspects of town, coast and country that people associate with the region.
“David Ross has exquisite taste in art – each of the paintings and sculptures shows a different aspect of Yorkshire – and we are honoured that he has chosen to share his collection with our visitors this summer."
The exhibition will run until September 3 and the museum is open daily from 10am to 5pm.
