Hugh did not believe in storing or lending pictures, but hung them all on the walls, the newest in positions where he could see them every day and decide if they needed further work. This always meant that a chain of others had to be moved too, and over time the whole house became something of a gradually changing installation.
These images give a tour of the Richmond house and his very idiosyncratic workshop.
