The works hail from the four renowned and extraordinary private collections of Edward James, Roland Penrose, Gabrielle Keiller and Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch, and together offer a superb overview of surrealist art. Ten essays explore the different origins, historical contexts and creative urges behind these collections. Artworks, perhaps more than anything else that one can acquire, are objects of desire and surrealist artworks even more so. The sheer quality of the works acquired (and, in the case of the Pietzsches, still being acquired) is astonishing and, while passionate about their private visions, all the collectors have been mindful of contributing something to the public good. The collections complement each other to an extraordinary degree and allow us to follow some of the artists' careers from beginning to end. By uniting them, exciting new juxtapositions emerge along with a fuller and richer picture of the surrealist movement as a whole." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Roland Penrose; Roland Penrose: Private Passions for the Public Good, by Keith Hartley; Roland Penrose: The Quiet Collector, by Antony Penrose; Edward James; A `Born' Surrealist: Edward James as Collector, Artists' Friend and Patron of the Arts, by Desiree De Chair; Edward James: The Pleasure Principle, by Hubertus Gassner; Now or Never!
