The Radev Collection

Eardley Knollys owned the Storran Gallery at 5 Albany Court Yard, London W1, for 8 years until 1944, after his partner Frank Coombs had been killed in the war, and Eardley decided that the gallery should close. It had put on major shows of Modigliani, Soutine, and exhibited important works by Picasso, selling to major museums. Afterwards Eardley moved to a new weekend retreat in Hampshire, which he shared with Mattei Radev.
