About the Item

The Returned Seaman by Peter Lanyon, 1973 Additional information: Medium: lithograph on TH Saunders paper 63 x 70 cm 24 3/4 x 27 1/2 in signed in print; with numbering 19/90 in pencil Born in St Ives, Cornwall, which remained his home throughout his life, Lanyon was a well-known member of its artist colony. After taking painting lessons after school with Borlase Smart throughout 1936, in the following year, Lanyon was accepted into the Penzance School of Art. Further study was undertaken at the Euston Road School in 1938, where Lanyon was taught and nurtured by Ben Nicholson, Adrian Stokes and Naum Gabo. Lanyon made his first construction in 1939, though his artistic pursuits were put on hold during his service with the Royal Air Force from 1940 to 1945. Lanyon’s first solo show was held at Lefevre Gallery in 1949. Selected exhibitions from his lifetime include the West Country Landscape, the Arts Council Tour of 1953, the Redfern Gallery, 1957, and the Tate Gallery in 1963. Lanyon was a founder member of the Crypt Group in 1946, exhibited with the Penwith Society in 1949 and taught at Bath Academy of Art from 1950 to 1957. He was elected a Member of the Newlyn Society in 1953 and ran the St. Peter's Loft Art School, St. Ives, with William Redgrave from 1955-60. His first solo show in New York was held in 1957. Lanyon's work is found in many public collections, including the Tate Britain and the Yale Center for British Art. Private collectors included David Bowie. Retrospectives of his work have been held at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester in 1978, and the South Bank Centre in 1992. More recently, in 2010, a major exhibition of his work was held at Pallant House Gallery, Sussex.

Relief by Kim Lim, 1993 Additional information: Medium: lithograph 51.3 x 76 cm 20 1/4 x 29 7/8 in signed, dated and numbered in pencil Kim Lim was born in Singapore and spent much of her early childhood in Penang and Malacca. After her schooling in Singapore, Lim knew that she wanted to become an artist, and at eighteen, she enrolled at St. Martin's in London, where she spent two years concentrating mainly on wood carving. She then transferred to the Slade, where taught by the etcher Anthony Gross and lithographer Stanley Jones, she developed a strong commitment to print making. On journeys back to Singapore she stopped off in Europe and India, soaking up the art 'like a sponge'. These were the experiences that confirmed in her a lifelong predilection for things archaic, and for the flow and rhythm of Indian and South East Asian sculpture: " I found that I always responded to things that were done in earlier civilizations that seemed to have less elaboration and more strength." In Greece she was entranced by Cycladic sculpture. Of Chinese art she was moved most by early Shang bronzes, Han sculpture, Sung pottery...

One Down by Howard Hodgkin, 1981-2
By Howard Hodgkin
Located in Kingsclere, GB
One Down by Howard Hodgkin, 1981-2 Additional information: Medium: lithograph with hand-colouring in gouache 91.4 x 121.9 cm 36 x 48 in signed, dated and numbered in pencil Hodgkin was born in London and grew up in Hammersmith Terrace. During World War II he was evacuated to Long Island, New York, for three years. In the Museum of Modern Art, New York, he saw works by School of Paris artists such as Henri Matisse, Édouard Vuillard, and Pierre Bonnard, which he could not easily have seen then in London or Paris. Back in England in 1943, Hodgkin ran away from Eton College and Bryanston School, convinced that education would impede his progress as an artist, though he encountered inspiring teachers at both schools. He then attended Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts (1949–50) and Bath Academy of Art, Corsham (1950–54). Hodgkin never belonged to a school or group. While many of his contemporaries were drawn to Pop or the School of London, he remained independent, initially marking his outsider status with a series of portraits of contemporary artists and their families. His first solo exhibition was at Arthur Tooth and Sons in London in 1962. Two years later he first visited India, following his interest in Indian miniatures, which began during his time at Eton. Collecting Indian art would remain a lifelong passion, which he initially supported by dealing in picture frames. In 1984 Hodgkin represented Britain at the Biennale di Venezia. His exhibition Forty Paintings reopened the Whitechapel Gallery, London, in 1985, and he won the Turner Prize the same year. In 1995–96 Hodgkin had an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, which travelled to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, Texas; Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf; and Hayward Gallery, London. His first full retrospective opened at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, in 2006 and traveled to Tate Britain, London, and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid. In the autumn of 2016 Hodgkin visited India for what was to be the last time, completing six new paintings before his return to London. These works were shown at England’s Hepworth Wakefield in 2017, in Painting India, a show that focused on the artist’s long-standing relationship with the Indian subcontinent. Starting in the 1950s, Hodgkin maintained a parallel printmaking practice, translating his visual language into works on paper. Exploring the interactions of color and space on a grander scale, he produced theatrical set designs for Ballet Rambert, the Royal Ballet, and the Mark Morris Dance Group. His black stone and white marble mural...
