Lots: 241
Headlined by John Craxton’s captivating canvas Poet in a Landscape, which sits alongside other exceptional traditional and modern highlights. These include Edward Seago’s atmospheric Nieuwe Kerk, Delft and Ken Howard’s sun-drenched Sennen Beach, Cornwall. Together with compelling theatrical designs by Paul Nash.
For collectors drawn to the bold energy of post-war and contemporary movements, the sale features standout pieces including Alison Watt’s striking canvas Peach and Patrick Scott’s radiant Gold Painting 6. The auction further distinguishes itself with significant works by two giants of the era, offering a fascinating visual dialogue: John Hoyland’s masterful abstract expressionism provides a powerful counterpoint to Craigie Aitchison’s idiosyncratic figuration. Sitting seamlessly alongside significant pieces by other leading figures such as Dame Elisabeth Frink, Enzo Plazzotta, and Patrick Procktor, these lots offer buyers a vital and diverse thread of British and Irish art history.
