Condition Report
Inscription to the reverse suggests a date of 1972. Board is in nice overall order. Painted surface with minor scattered accretions, possibly fly specks, and overall surface dirt and one or two small white flecks of paint. Along the edge of the tall building there is a light surface abrasion; there is possible abrasion to the black structure, though this may be intentional and intrinsic to the work. Would benefit from a clean, but otherwise in good, honest condition.
Auction: The Art & Design Sale, 25th Oct, 2024
For our final Art & Design Sale of the year, we are pleased to offer works from the following collections:
The late Lord Myners, former Chairman of the Board of Trustees at the Tate, whose collection largely centres around the St Ives school of painting; the actor and connoisseur Quentin Stevenson, who is offering the largest collection of Elisabeth Vellacott works to be sold at auction; the late Sam Alper OBE who, through his work at the Curwen Press, was instrumental in championing the British print market.
From private collections, we are happy to offer three previously lost works, including a rare Christopher Dresser teapot, a Patrick Heron oil, and a John Craxton oil from the estate of the late Gigi Richter.
