Info
The Couper Collection is a registered charity, which for many years exhibited its art in a floating gallery on converted barges, moored on the banks of the Thames in Battersea, London. It has exhibited artworks and installations by artist Max Couper, as well as hosting exhibitions and events by other artists. The Collection began in 1979 as a base for a large sculpture in Battersea Park. In 1999 it was launched as a charity by then UK Home Secretary Jack Straw MP.After a dispute with developer Hutchison Whampoa in 2013, the Couper Collection barges were ruled to be illegally moored. The gallery no longer exists and vessels have been sold.
