Edward H. ROGERS (1911-1994) Three small abstract works Gouache on paper Each signed, inscribed and dated 1958 Each measuring around 12 x 8cm The Personal Collection of Jonathan Grimble Part II Jonathan Grimble (1942 - 2021) was well known in Cornwall as an art dealer and collector. Jonathan started collecting Cornish art in the mid-1980s with his wife Ann. Ann passed away in 2000, and Jonathan moved to Marazion where he successfully ran the Market House Gallery and brought many modern and contemporary artists to further prominence. He later ran the Porthminster Gallery and Westcotts Gallery in St Ives. Jonathan was heavily involved in the modern British and Cornish art scene and was an agent for the executors of Sandra Blow’s estate, which he ran from Sandra’s studio in St Ives. During his time as an art dealer, Jonathan put together his own incredibly impressive collection of Cornish and contemporary art, featuring artists such as Sandra Blow Terry Frost Alexander Mackenzie Paul Feiler Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Fred Yates Jack Pender Trevor Bell Paul Mount John Milne Denis Mitchell Peter Lanyon and many more. David Lay Auctions were honoured to be asked by the executors of Jonathan’s estate to catalogue, market and sell Jonathan’s remarkable collection of Cornish and modern British art. After the huge success of the first sale, held in situ, in Jonathan's stylish seafront home overlooking Mounts Bay, we now have the pleasure of selling Part II, which will be sold in our auction rooms as part of our February Cornish & Fine Art sale.
Condition Report The works themselves are in good condition, although a very small amount of glue has been used to afix them along one edge onto card mounts, and this has discoloured. (See photos).
