Provenance

In October 1984 UEA accepted a planned bequest from Michael and Joyce Morris (UEA Alumni)

A series of correspondence in the Sainsbury Centre Archives record the communication with the Morris’ and the then VC, Michael Thompson as well as our colleague Veronica Sekules about its eventual home and display in the Sainsbury Centre. This was confirmed in their Will. Michael Morris died in 2009 and Joyce in December 2014 when the couples wishes were implemented.
