Note: Painter and administrator, born in Glasgow, married to the artist James Spence. With him she founded the Glasgow Group in the late 1950s, which did much to promote an interest in contemporary art in the west of Scotland and elsewhere. Paterson studied at Glasgow School of Art, in Spain and Portugal. She was elected RSW in 1966 and to Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts in 1978, and was a winner of the Anne Redpath and Latimer Awards. She showed in mixed exhibitions in Scotland and abroad and had a solo show at Compass Gallery, Glasgow, in 1971, being included in The Compass Contribution at Tramway, Glasgow, in 1990. Paterson was noted for her unusual pictures of ordinary people, often old, lonely and hard-up, which she treated with sympathy. Her work is held by Scottish Arts Council, Arts Council of Northern Ireland and New York Print Workshop.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition and McTear’s can provide contact details of local professionals who can provide fully comprehensive expert reports, usually for a modest charge. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
