Anne Dunn

Anne Dunn (born 4 September, 1929) is an English artist[1] associated with the second generation of the School of London.
Background and education[edit]
Born in London, England, Dunn is the daughter of the Canadian steel magnate Sir James Dunn, 1st baronet (1874–1956) and his second wife, Irene Clarice Richards, a former musical-comedy actress who had previously been married to Francis Douglas, 11th Marquess of Queensberry.
Dunn studied in London at Chelsea School of Art (1949–50) and at the Anglo-French Centre (1952) before going to the Académie Julian in Paris, France in 1952.[2][3]
Career[edit]
From 1964 to 1968, she edited the journal Art and Literature with Rodrigo Moynihan, Sonia Orwell and John Ashbery.[citation needed]
In 1990, Dunn had a solo show at the Christopher Hull Gallery in London.[citation needed] Her most recent solo show was in 2005 at the Tibor de Nagy Gallery in New York.[citation needed]
Personal life[edit]
Dunn's first husband was the artist Michael Wishart (1928–1996); they were married for 10 years before divorcing, and had one son. Michael Wishart's autobiography High Diver (1977) is dedicated to her and gives a picture of the artist as a young woman.[citation needed]
Immediately after she and Wishart divorced in 1960, Dunn married Anglo-Spanish artist Rodrigo Moynihan (1910–1990), as his second wife. They had a son together and Dunn gained a stepson through the marriage. [citation needed]
