Edit
Last calendar month I was given a tour of the Alisa in addition to Isaac M. Sutton Collection - currently on persuasion as Botanicals - Environmental Expressions inwards Art the Shirley Sherwood Gallery at Kew Gardens until nineteen Jan 2014. I real much recommend a see to the exhibition for all botanical artists interested inwards seeing the artwork selected past times a major collector of botanical art.
I approximate most people inwards botanical fine art involve maintain heard most the wonderful collection of botanical fine art amassed past times Shirley Sherwood - in addition to latterly the Gallery which was built amongst the back upward of her solid unit of measurement inwards Kew Gardens.
What you lot mightiness non know is that in that place some other botanical fine art collection which is too becoming real significant.
Dr Sherwood has been collecting botanical fine art since 1990 in addition to right away has some 851 paintings inwards her collection.
Isaac M. Sutton saw an exhibition of her collection inwards New York inwards 1998 in addition to was "blown away" past times the art. He started buying paintings in addition to used her volume accompanying the showtime exhibition equally a guide to what to collect. He right away has some 270 paintings - in addition to added 2 to a greater extent than amongst works from the 2 Sues (see 'Black in addition to White inwards Colour' at Kew Gardens - a review). I empathize this is right away the largest individual collection of botanical fine art inwards the USA. It includes examples of artwork past times leading botanical artists from all over the work.
This exhibition is based on a choice of his works which involve maintain been previously exhibited at the Hunt Institute, Pittsburgh, in addition to at the New York Botanic Gardens.
Inspired to collect: The Alisa in addition to Isaac M. Sutton Collection is an interview amongst Isaac m Sutton on the Kew Gardens website
I greatly enjoyed listening to Mr Sutton's stories of what a serious collector has to exercise to secure an artwork!
He has a real clear persuasion that botanical fine art should last collected to alive amongst in addition to he hangs his on the walls of his home. He too pointed out that a individual collector has a real existent wages over institutional collections inwards the feel that the decisions he makes most what to purchase doesn't involve maintain to fulfil whatsoever criteria other than his own. His aim is to involve maintain paintings which appeal to him since he intends to hang a ikon inwards his home. He wants to come across technical excellence inwards damage of both the phytology in addition to the painting. He's too interested inwards paintings which contribute of import records of electrical flow flora life. Finally he's real pleased if a ikon has a composition which attracts the eye.
This personal laid upward of criteria had led to some purchases of some stunning works which beckon you lot to come upward in addition to await at them from the other side of the gallery. At the same fourth dimension he has acquired some real fine pocket-size paintings of exquisite detail. I too peculiarly liked the agency he has purchased multiple paintings of the same flora (e.g. the snowfall eucalyptus) in addition to multiple studies (e.g. those past times Elaine Musgrave) which is non something i ofttimes sees inwards exhibitions of botanical art.
Having met Mr Sutton inwards the afternoon, I had the pleasance of introducing him to Sandra Armitage, the President of the Society of Botanical Artists at the eve reception for the Private View. I cry back in that place mightiness exactly last an invitation to come upward to a time to come exhibition of the SBA winging its agency to Mr Sutton inwards the future!
