SINCE its foundation in 2007, Monnow Valley Arts has prided itself on showing collections of art formed by private individuals in the UK. "Hanneke van der Werf and I have had the pleasure of helping Dorothy and Christopher Good over many years with aspects of their collection," says Rupert Otten. "Their interests were wide-ranging, encompassing not only the work of Ana Maria Pacheco but other British and European artists.

"For a number of years, we have talked about showing part of their collection and in the summer of 2014 we agreed on a plan to show their works by Ana Maria Pacheco. Pacheco has a special appeal to the Goods. Primarily a sculptor (the Goods would have loved to have owned a sculpture by her), she is also a story teller. Through her artist’s books, prints, drawings and paintings, she works out her ideas for future sculptural projects. Being Brazilian by birth, but living and working in Britain for the past 40 years, she has a unique ability to combine aspects of Brazil’s complex heritage with that of classical and medieval mythology.

"Dorothy and Christopher always made joint decisions as to what to add to their collections," Rupert continues."Whilst planning this exhibition Christopher Good died suddenly, and this exhibition is therefore a celebration of a passion for collecting and a memorial to Christopher."

The exhibition includes monotypes, Etchings and Drypoints and Screenprints, representing Pacheco’s graphic oeuvre across the board.

The exhibition is accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with an essay on the graphic work of Ana Maria Pacheco by Robert Bush.

The works from the Good Collection are not for sale, but impressions of some prints are available, courtesy of Pratt Contemporary Art.

The exhibition runs from Saturday, April 25 to Sunday, June 21. Open Thursday and Friday, 11am to 5pm, Saturday and Sunday, 2pm to 5pm
