Paperback. Condition: Very Good. E.J. Power (1899-1993) was one of the great collectors of post-war international art. He first began to buy modern art in the early 1950s, making frequent trips to Paris - then regarded as the capital of modern art - in search of works by Dubuffet, de Stael, Jorn, Tapies and others. From 1956-7 he became increasingly interested in contemporary American art, and he was one of the first British collectors to acquire works by Jackson Pollock, Ellsworth Kelly and Barnett Newman. Power brought adventurously and at times experimentally - to see if he liked a work or could learn from it. He also brought in great depth, amassing large holdings of works by artists he particularly admired. As early as 1956 his collection was described as "unique in England and impressive anywhere". Through his collecting and his close friendships with artists, he played an important role in the British art scene for many years. This publication examines the collection and career of Ted Power. It includes essays by Leslie Waddington, a longstanding friend of Power, and by Jennifer Mundy who focuses on the early phase of Power's collecting. Entries on the works that the Tate Gallery has acquired are included. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR002365308

[CONDITION: An extremely well preserved almost AS NEW unmarked copy (slight surface bump to rear cover) E.J. (or Ted) Power was the first, and for a period, the only substantial collector of contemporary art in Britain. As the critic John Russell wrote in Private View (1965), there were plenty of people in London who had the money to buy important works of art in the 1950s and 1960s but only Power had the requisite judgement and wilfulness to build a world-class collection. Power bought major examples of British and European art but, as this abridged 1996 essay shows, it was his in-depth engagement with leading young and mid-generation American artists that allowed him to create a collection that was unique in Britain. A generous patron, he loaned his collection to various British venues to encourage greater awareness of contemporary art and in 1968 became a Trustee of the Tate Gallery. Seller Inventory # 656
