Notes:Helen Nixon was Clifton Pugh's accountant and friend for a significant period of his life and career. As is often the way with artists, they are rich with imagination and concepts but not always flush in tangible world assets. As such, Helen accrued an extensive collection of artworks (and a Jaguar at one point) as payment for her trusted services. Helen's collection bares witness to the breadth of Pugh's talent, offering a unique glimpse into the artist's character and complexity.
