Sir Terry FROST (1915-2003)Untitled, circa 1980sMixed media collage 27.5 x 20cmProvenance - Wills Lane Gallery, St IvesNote from the vendor - "This was bought from Gillie, Wills Lane Gallery. Well, actually from his wife Joan! Those of you who knew Gillie, remember how difficult it was to actually get him to sell - he would always say, ‘Come back this afternoon' - but the gallery remained closed. On this occasion, Joan happened to be there and we left together. She suggested I came to the house later, and she would sell it to me! this I did, and also saw her collection of tea canisters. I asked Gillie why it was unsigned - and he simply said it had come from an informal exhibition, and knowing Terry would value the support, he bought various works, including this collage - he hadn’t thought or worried about a signature at the time." From the collection of Ron Howell."I was introduced to Terry by Allan Freer who had commissioned various things from him during his time with Manchester Education Committee - some of the works are illustrated in the Lewis book. After the initial meeting, we became good friends and I visited Terry and Kath three or four times a year in Newlyn. But we also met in Venice, where I worked regularly, and Terry has a show at the Multigrafia Gallery and the year before his death, they came to the Aldeburgh Festival. The etching ‘On the Edge’ was made for that visit. During that visit, Terry said that he had always wanted to design an opera, and I was able to help him fulfill that with the commission for Opera East’s production of Britten’s ‘Rape of Lucretia’. Unfortunately, Terry was unable to see the production, and although I had it filmed, the editing only finished after his death. The etching ‘Blue Vertical’ came from this commission, and the ‘Spiral for Aldeburgh’ was used at his funeral, with one of his poems printed verso. In 2005, ‘Blue Drowning’, based on Terry’s lost painting Drowning Blue, was performed by the Scottish Strings at the Aldeburgh Festival. This I commissioned from John Woolrich to celebrate the lives of Terry and Kath, and our friendship and collaborations."
