Paintings from the Estates of Nancy and Jill Anne Bowden
6pm Thursday 19th – Saturday 28th November 2015
The variety of the works by Raymond Booth in this rounded Collection reflect the touching manner in which it was put together. While sisters Nancy and Jill Anne Bowden first saw and fell in love with Booth’s work at his 1970s Fine Art Society exhibitions, they also made friends with him (by telephone, they met but once) and over 35 years bought from, and were given by him, studies which enriched the group of paintings they were able to afford from Bond Street..
