LONDON.- Waterhouse & Dodd present a collection of works on paper sourced from the estate of David Bomberg’s grand-daughter, Natalie Tachuk. Natalie was the daughter of Diana Holt, the only daughter of David Bomberg and Lilian Holt. Works from this collection have never been on the market before. To supplement the group the gallery has been able to source many works by Bomberg from other private sources.

Bomberg is now widely revered as one of the greatest British artists of the 20th century and his teaching inspired a generation of artists who fell under his spell at the Borough Polytechnic in the 1940s and1950s. A full Tate retrospective was held in 1988 and a full monograph, now out of print, by Richard Cork was published in 1987.

There now seems renewed interest in Bomberg’s work, with a major BBC program to be broadcast in early 2014. Sarah MacDougall and Rachel Dickson, senior curators at Ben Uri, are currently preparing a new monograph on the work of David Bomberg, which Lund Humphries plan to publish in 2017.

The gallery is also showing a small collection of paintings and drawings by Lilian Holt, Bomberg's second wife. The gallery was fortunate to be offerred a small group of works by Lilian from two private collections and felt the link to Bomberg's own work was too strong to ignore. The selection including, Tinehir Atlas Mountains, Night, which shows an artist who was clearly indebted to her mentor, but who displayed considerable technical gifts of her own.
