An analysis of the likelihood that more and more universities in the UK will find themselves running into financial difficulties and the implications this could have on university art collections across the country. It is suggested that, while traditionally universities have been loathe to sell off artworks that have been bequeathed to them, an expected contraction of university funding could force universities to sell off their collections.
