The Sherwin Colleciton, 2 copies, Middlesbrough: Middlebrough Institute of Modern Art, 2008, 8vo, original cloth-backed photographic boards (qty: 37 boxes) 'Dr Jeffrey Sherwin ... was a GP who became instrumental in creating the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds and who assembled a renowned collection of British surrealist art which he placed on show around the world ... Dr Sherwin was educated at Leeds Grammar, Leeds University and Balliol College, Oxford ... It was in 1977 that he met the Castleford-born sculptor, Henry Moore, and learned that despite his world renown and having studied in Leeds, he had never been invited back to the city. A fruitful relationship ensued, and Dr Sherwin conceived the idea of creating a separate sculpture gallery at the front of the old Leeds City Art Gallery, fighting to secure the £150,000 funding needed to make the Henry Moore Institute a reality. The son of a Jewish GP father, Jeffrey had inherited his interest in art from his mother Rachey, an amateur ceramicist. He began collecting paintings whilst a student in Oxford. An event at Leeds City Art Gallery to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1936 International Surrealist Exhibition opened his eyes to British surrealism, and he began to acquire works at auctions and directly from living artists ... It became the largest collection of British surrealist art assembled through amateur enthusiasm rather than for private gain, and works from it have been sent on loan to the Tate in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York as well as galleries in France, Spain, and Germany' (Obituary, Yorkshire Post, 17 November 2018).
