Sir Robert and Lisa Sainsbury were renowned collectors of art and leading benefactors of the arts in the United Kingdom, leaving an indelible mark on modern times. Their collaborative collecting endeavors spanned over sixty years, yielding a breathtaking collection that was donated to the University of East Anglia in Norwich in 1973. This remarkable art collection is now proudly housed within the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts (SCVA), masterfully designed by Norman Foster, who would later become Lord Foster. A stunning bronze bust, dedicated to the Sainsbury family, stands as a testament to their legacy, featuring a young Lisa as its subject. This object forms part of "Scan The World", a groundbreaking initiative launched by MyMiniFactory.
