HANNAH COLLINS (United Kingdom, 1956). "Kitchen. La Laboral Gijón". 2006 Digital print on canvas. Diptych. With Joan Prats gallery stamp on the back. Provenance: Joan Prats Gallery. Barcelona. Measurements: 192 x 274 cm. This photograph was part of the solo exhibition "A future Life", held in 2006 at the Joan Prats gallery in Barcelona. Hannah Collins' photographic work is a reflection on the passage of time and the presence of the human trace in different environments. Her photographs of interior spaces reveal an implicit, latent social history. For the artist, fleeting glimpses of cities do not provide a full understanding of their existence. Far from the documentary character, her scenes consciously mix that reality with a fiction that gives them a new meaning. The dreary, institutional "Kitchen" shown in this photograph is part of the artist's research on migrant lives and memory. It is worth linking it to a later series she would present at LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial in Gijón (2017), entitled "The Fragile Feast", which focused on kitchen photography, and opened a dialogue between culinary art and photographic art. A British artist and filmmaker, Hannah Collins studied at the Slade School of Fine Arts in London, and later extended her training in the United States thanks to a Fullbright scholarship (1978-79). Throughout her career she has held important solo exhibitions in leading art galleries and art centers in Europe and America, and has participated in group exhibitions held at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (1987, 1989, 1989, 1989). Albert Museum in London (1987, 1989, 1989, 1995, 2002), the Centre National des Arts Plastiques in Paris (1989), the Museum of Modern Art in Kyoto (1990), the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona (1992, 1998), the Museo Español de Arte Moderno in Madrid (1994, 2008), the Saatchi Gallery in London (1994), the Helga de Alvear Gallery in Madrid (1999), the Tate Modern in London (2000), the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (2006) and the Kulturhaus in Vienna (2011), among others. Based between London and Barcelona, in 1993 she was nominated for the Turner Prize, in 1991 she won the European Photography Award and in 2004 the Olympus Award. She is currently represented at the Tate Modern in London, the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the MNCA Reina Sofía in Madrid, the MACBA in Barcelona and other public and private collections in Europe and America.

Benjamin Rush War-Dated Autograph Letter Signed on George Washington and British Movements: "Our town is alive with news. The minute guns were fired this morning. It threw the city into confusion." Revolutionary War-dated ALS signed “B. Rush,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 7.25 x 12, April 14, 1777. Addressed from Philadelphia, a handwritten letter to his wife, Julia, in part: “I am sorry to inform you that I could not get a single fish, nor an ounce of fresh meat in market this morning owing to their both being all bought up before Azariah came to town. I am glad to hear that our new Levee behaves so well. I think the less Molly and he dispute about politicks the better. Such disputes especially among ignorant people generally confirm predjudices and increase Obstinacy. Perhaps by a different course of behavior to him he may be induced to refuse to be exchanged, and may continue with us as long as we want him. Our town is alive with news. The minute guns were fired this morning. It threw the city into confusion. An express has just arrived who says there are nine Men of War in the river. This Acc't makes it certain that Phila. is the object of the enemy. We expect every moment to hear of our bay being crowded with transports filled with British and Hessian soldiers. Major General Lincoln (a Massachusetts Bay man), was surprised and taken prisoner a few nights ago near Bound Brook in New Jersey together with 200 men by a party of the enemy. Our brother came to town last night. He positively sets off early tomorrow morning to Mr. Bartrams...agreeable to his duty and our mother's orders. As everything is now turned topsy turvy in town, I fear you will not spend your time agreeably here. I think you had better set off tomorrow morning for Grame Park. It will not however do to spend a week there, as I know not how soon Gen'l Howe’s progress up the Delaware may make it necessary to fly with you to Maryland. Suppose you leave Mrs. Pamper at Capt. Allison's and call for her in a day or two. I fear I shall not be able to come for you. I enter upon the care of a military hospital tomorrow, and shall have a hundred things to do that are important to ourselves as well as the public. Enclosed is an Evening Post. Gen Washington's letter is a masterpiece. It has raised his character higher than ever in the opinion of Congress and his friends. The Congress have settled my appointment in the Army so as to be perfectly agreeable to me. They have made me Joint Physician and Surgeon General with Dr. Jones of Virginia of the middle department. You may depend upon my care and tenderness in conducting you to Mr. Halls as soon as the danger is more imminent. Much love to our brother and sister.” Rush adds a postscript: “Keep up the spirits of our brother and sister. All is for the best and all will end well...The counsels of Heaven must be fulfilled. ‘Clouds and darkness are before him, but righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.’” In very good to fine condition, with seal-related paper loss near the hinge.
