Ivor Abrahams was a British sculptor, ceramicist and printmaker. Born in Wigan in 1935, he studied in the 1950s under Anthony Caro’s at Central St Martin’s and Karel Vogel at Camberwell.
Alongside gaining international recognition early in his career as an exhibiting artist and sculptor, he was a visiting lecturer for many years across UK Art Schools. He was the Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy Schools between 2007-2010.
His work is represented in more than 30 collections worldwide including the Arts Council, the Royal Academy, Tate, and MoMA, New York
He is best known as a printmaker for his stylised garden scenes that explore the relationship between art, artifice and nature. From the late 1960s to the late 1980s he began experimenting with new materials like the flocking used here - combining new surface textures with found images reproduced in old gardening magazines.
