PROVENANCE: Romy Rey 1938–2020 private collection, London, United Kingdom.
CONDITION: Good condition.
The artist and collector Romy Rey grew up in Zurich in a Swiss family as the first child of a mechanical engineer turned patent attorney and a seamstress. Romy was fascinated with foreign cultures from an early age. Post-war austerity prevented her from learning archaeology, so she completed an apprenticeship and diploma in commerce instead. On her initiative, Romy subsequently relocated to Geneva to study, excelling in Latin and contemporary languages.
During travels with her brothers Hans Ulrich and Werner, she discovered Vienna, Athens, and parts of the former Ottoman Empire. The cultural diversity of Paris attracted Romy, where she worked as a translator. It was there she fell in love with the English bookseller John Prescott. In the mid-1960s, she followed him to London, where together (as business partners) they managed two well-known bookshops in Hampstead and Richmond for over 35 years.
