Graham Short The Writers Collection
Posted 9/09/2011
Micro-engraver, Graham Short – best known for having inscribed the entire Lord’s Prayer on the head of a pin, will showcase his first collection at Mayfair’s Clarendon Fine Art Gallery.
The body of work, entitled ‘The Writers Collection’ consists of over 20 pieces that were inspired by Graham’s love of words and the power they have to effect profound change. Each one can be viewed through a specialised microscope.
The centrepiece of the collection is Fry’s Delight on the Band of a Fountain Pen. Done in collaboration with much-loved author and broadcaster Stephen Fry, the pen and its quotation were provided by Stephen Fry and has been bequeathed to the charity English Pen to celebrate the organisation’s 90th anniversary.
