An Art Collector’s Collection

I’m usually all business when I go to a client’s home to talk about and prepare a sale. This time was different. Unique. I was delighted to spend hours with Marjorie, my new client. As we talked and talked, she “painted” such a beautiful vision for me while I was photographing, measuring, and inspecting each piece of art she wanted to sell. As a matter of fact, as I ponder it now while I type, the whole experience felt like I was playing out a part in her novel or movie. As we moved from one painting to the next, Marjorie took her time to remember and explain the history and facts of each work of art. She masterfully weaved bits of her own life in each story that by the time we finished I had felt like I have known Marjorie for a long time. I even felt like I was there when she and her late husband bought each painting. I was kept amused and entertained by her stories thanks to the larger-than-life-personality of the late great Henri Tiercet, her personal French art dealer/curiator and friend. Each painting listed in this auction was sold to my client by Henri Tiercet out of his own gallery: “Henri Tiercet Galleries, Inc.” They developed a bond and friendship that lasted his lifetime. Henri knew some of the artists personally and some of my client’s paintings literally came directly from the artist themselves via Henri. Below is a short bio of Henri.

Henri E. Tiercet was born in Belgium but lived in France most of his life. He specialized in selling imported art. Many from England and France. His wife, Jennifer Tiercet , was also Henri's business partner and studied art restoration. their Gallery, "Henri Tiercet Galleries, Inc." was established in early 1960's. I believe his gallery had a couple different locations including Sayerville, NJ and Menlo Park, NJ. Upon research I've discovered many SOLD antique paintings pass through Henri's gallery. You can find these references on Invaluable and WorthPoint to name a couple.

** FYI:

- Each piece of art is an original with only one Seriagraph and one Lithograph
- Each piece of art was sold by the same person/gallery: “Henri Tiercet Galleries, Inc.”
- Each piece of art was also custom framed with the back sealed by Henri Tiercet's Gallery.
- A matte, non-reflective glass was used on the majority (not all) of the frames (this was lifesaver when I was photographing the artwork!) **

Alfred Hugh Fisher:

An English etcher, engraver, illustrator and painter, Alfred Hugh Fisher was educated at the University College Schools, Lambeth School and South Kensington, and then concluded his formal studies in Paris, under Laurens and Constant. Concentrating mostly upon original printmaking and illustration, Alfred Hugh Fisher was appointed as an artist to the Visual Instruction Committee of the Colonial Office, which gave him opportunity to travel extensively throughout the British Empire and elsewhere. Etchings and drypoints of New Zealand, India, Burma, Hungary, France and England were published in London by Greatorex in signed editions of forty to one hundred impressions. A. Hugh Fisher was also an accomplished etcher and engraver of portraits, figure studies and animal depictions.

Many of Alfred Hugh Fisher's engravings were created in a series form. These include his twenty-one views of Winchester, created by the artist from 1924 to 1927. Other series are his etchings of Provence (14), Views of York (7) and Views of Paris and Budapest. His fine etchings were exhibited at the Royal Academy, the R.B.A. and with the Royal Engravers. A. Hugh Fisher was elected an Associate of the Royal Engravers and was a full member of the Chicago Society of Etchers and the California Print Makers. He lived and worked for lengthy periods of time in both Amberly, Sussex, and Risborough.

Alfred Hugh Fisher was also active as an author and published several volumes of poetry. He both illustrated and wrote such books as, The Cathedral Church of Hereford (1898), The Marriage of Ilario (1919) and Through India and Burmah with Pen and Brush (1911). Today such major public galleries as the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, include examples of his original prints in their collections.
