Such an emotional event for me. Souls Grown Deep exhibition at the Royal Academy. These Purvis Young are from the Urbanek / Fleming collection exhibited and noted in memory of Larry T. Clemons. I am so proud Larry Clemons. Special thanks to my dear friends Maciej Urbanek and Graham Fleming for hosting me and supporting me through the last three years.
