Abstract
Three artists of major international reputation were invited by Gill Hedley, an independent curator, to respond to the collections and themes of the Foundling Museum in London in 2010. Mat Collishaw, Tracey Emin and Paula Rego have all made remarkable works over the years with subject matter that lies at the heart of the Foundling story: exploitation, loss, grief, sex, love, parenthood and childhood. Each artist responded to the invitation with great generosity and either made new work or lent works never previously seen. The paper will introduce the works and compare their sentiments to those of William Blake's (1789) Songs of Innocence and of Experience.
