PICTURES from an art gallery will be sky high when they are displayed on the 17th floor of a landmark North-East building.

The paintings are on loan from Middlesbrough Art Gallery to both local and national companies for an annual fee in an attempt to bring art to a wider audience.

Now, the pictures will be located on the 17th floor of the 18-storey Centre North East building in Middlesbrough.

They include Anthony Lowe's oil on canvas of Middlesbrough's Transporter Bridge, shown above by Chantelle Molloy, who works in the 17th floor marketing suite.

The glass-fronted building is the tallest office complex in the North-East and has recently undergone a £4m refurbishment.

The Middlesbrough Town Centre Company, which has offices in the building, also has a display of photographic works by American artist Lynn Silverman, which relate specifically to the building.
