Standing opposite Modern Two (formerly Dean Gallery), the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art One is fronted by the giant Landform sculpture by Charles Jencks, a stepped, serpentin mound reflected in three crescent-shaped pools of water. Inside the gallery, which has a striking neo-classical façade that fits perfectly with Edinburgh’s ‘Athens of the North’ tag, are works by artists such as Picasso, Andy Warhol and Lucian Freud, in frequently changing displays. The popular gallery café more than doubles its capacity in summer months by setting up outdoor seating.

Sol LeWitt, Wall Drawing #1136, 2004
Location Date Tickets
Sol LeWitt's Wall Drawing #1136, 2004 has been executed by members of the gallery team according to the late artist's instructions; it's a huge, vibrant and colourful abstract painting which is painted directly onto the gallery wall and therefore only exists for the duration of its exhibition. When the exhibition is over, the painting will be painted over again (until it's painted in some other gallery some other time.)
