​Back in 1979 I received an interesting phone call which led me to Geneva to view an original copy of the complete Bible set by Marc Chagall. The owner of this fascinating collection was France’s answer to Frank Sinatra, the singer songwriter Charles Aznavour

​Aznavour was contemplating selling the collection and at that time I had no outlet for this type of work so sadly I had to pass them up. The fact that I couldn’t afford them may have had some influence on that decision!

​Nearly 30 years on I am delighted to have three of the Bible lithographs in the gallery looking as bright and majestic as they did back in the 70’s.
