Provenance: Lionel March, and thence by descent to the present ownerPrivate Collection, U.K.Professor Lionel March (1934-2018) was a British mathematician, architect and pioneering practitioner of digital art. As a schoolboy, his mathematical work attracted the admiration of Alan Turing, and he went on to read mathematics at Magdalene College, Cambridge, before transferring to architecture after a year. Whilst a student, he also designed stage sets for a number of theatre productions, including two at Sadler's Wells in London. In 1962 he held a one-man exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, entitled Experiments in Serial Art, and felt aligned to the work of the Constructionist group of artists. As well as being an artist and architect, March became the first Director of the Centre for Land Use and Built Form Studies at Cambridge University, now the Martin Centre for Architectural and Urban Studies, served as Rector of the Royal College of Art, London, and held professorships at the University of Waterloo, the Open University and the University of California, Los Angeles.
