Highlighted on the front page are works purchased in the last few months. These include two new John Melville portraits, one of his son Theo and another of Birmingham novelist John Hampton, and an early Ithell Colquhoun self-portrait. There is a small still-life from the 1960s by major Brazilian artist Carlos Scliar and a beautiful Patrick Proctor lithograph of lilies. To add to the eclectic mix is a drawing "The Death of Webern" by film director and artist Peter Greenawy and three abstracts from the 1960s by Rudolf Sauter which recall the era of space exploration.
Latest additions & news:
Our second site at www.2021modernart.com, which displays works falling outside the core Red Raven remit, is now up and running. We have recently added to it paintings by Zimbabwean artist Sam Songo and Nigerian Kent Onah, plus lithographs by ultra-realist Terence Millington.
We are always interested in purchasing quality paintings from 1950s-1970s, whether from UK, Europe, Africa, Asia or the Americas.
