Gabrielle Keiller's bequest to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art of more than 170 works of art and a library of manuscripts, rare books and periodicals, is the most important addition to the collection since its foundation in 1960. This, with the gallery's own holdings, makes this one of the greatest collections of Surrealist art and literature in the world. The bequest includes major works by Max Ernst, Yves Tanguy, Rend Magritte, Paul Delvaux, Salvador Dali, Francis Bacon, Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray, Eduardo Paolozzi, and others. The fully-illustrated catalogue of the bequest provides detailed entries on each work together with an essay on Dada and Surrealism by the acknowledged authority Elizabeth Cowling and an essay charting the development of the collection by Richard Calvocoressi. Gabrielle Keiller was born Gabrielle Muriel Ritchie in 1908 at North Berwick, where her parents were on a golfing holiday. In 1951 she married Alexander Keiller, who was a distinguished archaeologist and a member of the Dundee marmalade family - the year in which she also reached the final of the English Ladies Golf Championship. She became interested in modern art in 1960 when she visited Peggy Guggenheim's collection in Venice and saw the work of Eduardo Paolozzi at the Venice Biennale the same year. She was a member of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art advisory committee between 1978 and 1985 and when she died at the age of 87 in 1995 she was, after Sir Roland Penrose and Edward James, the last of the great collectors of Surrealism in Britain.
