About the Item

Patrick Procktor RA RE RWS, British (1936-2003 ) Bali, Watercolour on paper, signed lower right 'Patrick Procktor', indistinctly titled lower right 'Bali', 30.9 x 23.4 cm (sheet size) This work is likely the study for a portfolio of 8 screenprints entitled 'Ocean Pearl (A Far Eastern Voyage)' Patrick Procktor was part of an influential group of British artists in the 1960s alongside David Hockney, and won the early support of Keith Vaughan and Bryan Robertson. His early paintings were dynamic, abstract depictions of the male nude, before he established himself as one of the leading watercolourists of his generation from the 1970s onwards. Since his death, there has been a resurgence of interest in Procktor. He has been included in a number of important group exhibitions organised by the Tate, such as Tate Britain's huge survey show of watercolourists, in 2011; in Glam! The Performance of Style at Tate Liverpool, in 2013; and in Queer British Art at Tate Britain, in 2017.

Marc Vaux, British b1932, Oil on Board 1957
By Marc Vaux
Located in Oxford, GB
Marc Vaux is a British artist who rose to prominence in the 1960s. His work was included in the seminal Situation exhibition of 1960 alongside Robyn Denny, William Turnbull and Bernard Cohen among others. This exhibition was a direct reaction by British abstract artists to the recent exhibitions in London of the American Abstract Expressionists in particular the Tate's 1959 exhibition The New American Painting. This painting is an early work and was given to the vendor by Marc Vaux’s wife . It explores Vuax’s early fascination and love of colour. Using a minimal palette Vaux extracts so much information from what he’s seeing putting it down on board in the most effervescent and exquisite manner In 1986, Vaux was appointed Head of Painting at the Central/St Martins College of Art and Design in London where he stayed until he retired in 1989 to concentrate full-time on painting Vaux's work has variously been described as minimalist and constructivist although since his primary interest is in colour and light he has more in common with the American west coast artists than the New York minimalists...
