DEBORA GREGER

Hand-Stitched Collage

My collages begin in piles of paper – people, windows, planets, snakes, bugs – snipped from illustrated books. I use embroidery scissors made in Germany, found in my quest for a very fine, sharp point and blade. The idea for a collage begins in the images, which suggest possibilities I didn’t expect. When I took up collage after art school, I glued though not as well as I cut. Glue showed, paper buckled, so I started sewing down the scraps with monofilament nylon thread, lighter gauge than fishing line. The colored stitching on some collages is cotton embroidery floss. When I was six or seven, my mother taught me to sew. After her children were grown, she turned to making fabric kites and writing books about kite-making, which became best-sellers.  In ways I could not have foreseen, I have become my mother’s daughter.

GROUP 1

PRINTS FROM THE COLLECTION OF

DAVID PAISEY (1933-2023)

5pm Tuesday 3rd December

David Paisey worked at the British Library from 1959-1993 and was responsble for German books. On his retirement he began volunteering at the British Museum’s Department of Prints and Drawings where he contributed to the cataloguing of their collection; first German illustrated books, then broadsides, then German portrait prints and finally printed ephemera. He was also a collector of pictures and ceramics, and a generous benefactor to the British Museum and the National Museum of Wales. The number of works he gave to the British Musuem’s Department of Prints and Drawings stands at over 380. The majority of the works he donated were contemporary prints such as those below. The volume and breadth of this collection stands as a testament to his support of (often young) artists.

NOTE: These prints are all sold unframed and unmounted. Consequently they are not on general view at the gallery. If you would like to come and see any, please let us know in advance.

Dimensions given are plate / image sizes.

HOW ‘THE LIST’ WORKS

Our Lists introduce 100 works to our large stock of oil paintings, watercolours, drawings and prints each month.

They are usually published in two halves, in the first and third weeks of the month. We treat enquiries about List pictures in strict order of receipt.

Please call if you would prefer to talk to us about anything you see on the website, but we strongly advise sending an email first; we are happy to hold works for a short time while they are being considered, or to give time to make a vist.

Images: These are intended as an indication of the work – please telephone or email  if you have any questions about the photograph’s relationship to the original. We are always happy to send further photos – frames, versos, inscriptions, something to give scale – so please do ask.

Postage: Most works can be packed and posted, inland and abroad. Quotes can be sent.

Approval Service: We are happy to send works on approval, but this is subject to discussion.
