We have recently acquired from Edgar Alegre five works on paper by

ERIC HEBBORN 1934 – 1996

Edgar was Eric’s partner in the late 1970s and through the 1980s

One is an Italian landscape drawing  of Chiesa di Quintiliolo which was not included in our 1994 exhibition of Eric’s “Recent Italian landscape drawings”. Hebborn retained it.

Also we have four coloured etchings. Hebborn  used a very slight and faint etching base over which he has hand coloured each plate in watercolour . Resulting in very delicate images – almost superior to the watercolours. These four etchings were intended for publication but nothing became of the project – perhaps the hand colouring was too much of a task. They are therefore unique. They are all based on watercolurs included in the 1986 exhibition Hebborn acquarelli de Tivoli at Galleria Corniceria Tivoli.
