The Wall Collection in Birmingham was established in the 1930s and was shaped by the eclectic taste of the industrialist A.C.J. Wall. The British artist Sir Jacob Epstein created a bronze portrait of the collector in 1933. In 1970 and 1976, important paintings, furniture, sculptures, and ceramics were auctioned at Christie's.
