We are delighted to present our upcoming summer curation of Modern British & Irish Art, featuring The Extraordinary Everyday: A Single Owner Collection Including Works by Carel Weight and Ruskin Spear. Carefully acquired over a lifetime, this exceptional collection highlights some of the most notable paintings by Carel Weight and Ruskin Spear, alongside superb works by Ken Howard, John Bellany, and Charles Simpson.
As always, our seasonal auctions encompass a diverse array of artists and movements, spanning from the late 19th century to the present day. Among the premier highlights are Ivon Hitchens’ commanding large-scale canvas, River Landscape (1965), and Edward Seago’s beautifully serene riverscape, The Orwell at Pin Mill. Additionally, following Chiswick Auctions’ landmark £403,200 result for David Hockney’s View from Miramar Hotel, Santa Monica (1970), the department is proud to offer Two Red Peppers, a captivating piece executed by the artist in that same milestone year.
