Notes: Work as executed included a relief in a form of rubber. A letter to Hywell James from Monika Kinley dated 1 List from 1980 indicates that relief was not present at that time. (Letter dated 1.3.1983 refers to 'rubber relief' and seven prints on Mylar, saying "I presume you have just two . .. . a set is always more valuable".) 2001 price of this set was £6,000 plus VAT. The Curator recommended to Trustees that sponsorship might be sought for the purchase of the work from the Alan Cristea Gallery and disposal of the prints currently held to help diffray the cost. No mention of missing relief in records.
