Modern British & Irish Art

Welcome to our Modern British & Irish Art department. We host three specialist auctions a year, featuring paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures by Modern British artists from the very late 19th century to the present day.

In just the past two years, we have achieved some remarkable results: `Hayfield, Brayton Road, Aspatria` by Sheila Fell (£30,000), an auction record for her work; `Seated Man in Boxing Shorts` by Duncan Grant (£21,000), a bold image by a distinctive master; `Pen Y Bryn` by Sir Kyffin Williams (£15,000), a quintessentially Welsh masterpiece; `Horse` by Dame Elisabeth Frink (£9000), an image both informal and majestic; `Early Morning, Upper Horning` by Edward Seago (£9000), an atmospheric gem by the master landscape artist; `Moon Jar` by Akiko Hirai, a technically inventive stoneware artwork (£6500); `Dawn at Southwark` by C. R. W. Nevinson (£4600), a rediscovered lithograph of exceptional rarity; `Garn Fawr` by John Piper (£4000), lyrical semi-abstraction by the Neo-Romantic master; `Red Sun` by Roger Hilton (£3000), an exuberant splash of colour from the artist’s final years; and `Canoe Island` by Peter Doig (£2700), a striking screenprint by this leading Contemporary artist.

We welcome consignments throughout the year.  To discover the value of your art, simply upload an image (along with any additional information) through our easy-to-use online valuation form below. Alternatively, contact Simon directly and he will guide you through the valuation process and answer any questions that you may have. 

Home visits are also available without charge or obligation throughout the West Country and, of course, we are happy to discuss your requirements if you live elsewhere throughout the UK.
