拍品专文

Cecil Elsom, C.B.E (1912-2006) was 21 and just qualified when he started his first architectural practice. In 1947 he founded the London-based architectural practice EPR Architects with William Pack and Alan Roberts. According to Elsom’s obituary in The Times, ‘he was an architect who appreciated classical design and restoration but also provided London with admirable postwar buildings’ (The Times, 27 April 2006). Elsom was great friends with Paolozzi, having first met him when he asked the artist to design the wallpaper for a project at Kent House, London. Elsom put together a significant collection of works by Paolozzi and commissioned several works directly from him.

We are very grateful to Dr Judith Collins for her assistance in cataloguing this lot.
