Arthur Jeffress was an art dealer and collector from a Virginian
family who bequeathed his "subversive little collection" (Derek
Hill) to Tate and Southampton City Art Gallery on his suicide in
1961. That suicide, a result of his expulsion from Venice, has been
the subject of speculation in many memoirs. Gill Hedley's biography
of Jeffress has benefited from access to many hundreds of
unpublished letters written between Jeffress and Robert Melville,
who ran Jeffress' own gallery from 1955-1961. The letters were
written largely while Jeffress was in Venice and reveal a vivid
picture of the London gallery world as well as frank details of
artists, collectors and the definitive story of his suicide.
Previously unpublished research reveals new information about the
lives of Jeffress' lover John Deakin, his business partner Erica
Brausen, the French photographer Andre Ostier and Henry Clifford,
and the way in which all of them influenced Jeffress' first steps
as a collector from the 1930s onwards.
