Ends: 22nd Mar, 2026 13:00
Auction Location: London, UK
Our one-of-a-kind bi-annual auction From the Studio: Works from Artists Estates focuses on the rediscovery of 20th century artists. Many exhibited in leading West End galleries in their day, their works featuring in museums and art galleries around the world. All now deceased, with many having descended into undeserved obscurity since, the sale puts a fresh spotlight on them and their work. Chapter by chapter the sale catalogue reveals a range of extraordinarily talented men and women, each with their own story to tell.
Most of the artists were admired, promoted and written about by eminent 20th century art critics. Several were Jewish emigres, forced from their homelands to find their way anew in Britain and elsewhere. Many were close friends with other leading contemporary artists, sharing studios and ideas; some taught, several at the Royal College of Art. Throughout, their efforts both individually and together chart the numerous movements and counter movements that define the dynamic 20th century modernist landscape, from the Academic tradition to Impressionism, Modernism and Abstraction.
Of the sixteen artists presented in the current From the Studios sale format five are being offered for the first time: Wilfred de Glehn, Jane de Glehn, Anthony Gilbert, Michael Kenny and John Miller.
