I had
previously gained some research experience
in several
other countries of the so - called Western world, so I set myself the goal of
working in a lab somewhere rather different this time.
Amassed over almost 40 years and
previously housed
in the interiors and gardens of «Bleep», Eric and Jean's spectacular modernist Surrey home, the couple's collection was one of the most unique and significant collections of modern and contemporary art
in the
country, comprising
works by, amongst
others, Karel Appel, Michael Craig - Martin, Barbara Hepworth, Joan Miro, Henry Moore, Eduardo Paolozzi, Victor Pasmore, Pablo Picasso and Niki de Saint - Phalle.
