The provenance of this work is Ben Uri Gallery and Museum, London. The work was deaccessioned in 2018 as part of a wide ranging reassessment of its Collection and Collecting policies which addressed the modus operandi of this physically small scale institution resulting in their Sustainability and Public Benefit Strategy. Their revised, enlightened, strategic plan and core public benefit objectives drove their transformation into the first full scale virtual museum and research centre in 2019. Many works have been transferred free of charge to other museum collections and the funds raised from sales are being reinvested for the benefit of the charity in general funding new acquisitions and enhancing the museum’s research unit studying, and digitally recording, the Jewish and immigrant contribution to British visual culture since 1900. The son of the artist, the late Mr Vincent Freedman, was the donor of this painting to Ben Uri and was fully informed and supportive of the sale to benefit Ben Uri.
