Check out the Financial Times article on art collector Frank Cohen:

The exhibition, Frank and Cherryl Cohen at Chatsworth, opens next week at the great house in Derbyshire, northern England. It is the first exhibition to showcase the modern British art – including significant works by Stanley Spencer, LS Lowry, Edward Burra, Frank Auerbach – amassed by Cohen and his wife in the past 40 years. “Modern British is my first love, my real passion,” he says. “It goes deeper than contemporary art.”

We are poring over images in his collection. The Chatsworth selection spans a century: from Matthew Smith’s 1915 “Connie Martin” (“fauvish”) to Leon Kossoff’s 1972 “Portrait of Father” (“I love that painting!”) to work by 36-year-old Stuart Pearson Wright.
