Provenance
The Artist, from whom acquired directly by
Ken Powell, and thence by descent
Private Collection, U.K.
Ken Powell (1923-2006) was an art collector who had a diverse array of collecting interests. He first amassed a collection of Chinese porcelain and Georgian glass, which was then replaced by paintings by the Camden Town Group, and, following a visit to the Annely Juda Gallery, he then sought out works by British constructivist and abstract painters of the 1950s, including work by Stephen Gilbert, Anthony Hill and Adrian Heath. He also collected a number of works by Prunella Clough, who became a close friend, and whose work went on to form the largest single group in his collection. In 1992, over 70 works from his collection were loaned to an exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, New Beginnings: postwar British art from the collection of Ken Powell, celebrating the creativity found in British art of the 1950s.
