PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF MARY CARSWELLThe following group of works, including a work on paper by Dame Elisabeth Frink were collected by Frink’s close friend and supporter, Mary Carswell (1933-2018). Based in New York with her husband Robert Carswell, Mary led a distinguished career in the non-profit sector in both the arts and social services. This included being president and founding board member of The New York Academy of Art in 1982, a devoted board member of the Clark Art Institute, and her role as Executive Director of The MacDowell Colony, a working retreat for artists. Mary and Elisabeth Frink first met in 1983 and became lifelong friends. Mary was one of Frink's most important patrons - largely buying directly from Frink - and the two corresponded across the Atlantic over a period of ten years as Mary's carefully curated collection of Frink's works grew. Mary’s collection is testament to Mary's passion and endorsement of the arts.
