Masterpieces by the Scottish Colourists to Lead Sotheby’s London Sale
LONDON.-
On Thursday, 22 April 2010, the first of
Sotheby’s biannual London sales of Scottish Pictures in 2010 will
include a
group of important works by the Scottish Colourists that unequivocally
demonstrates the pivotal position occupied by these artists in the
formative
years of British modernism during the early decades of the twentieth
century. The group comprises Samuel John Peploe (1871-1935),
Francis
Campbell Boileau Cadell (1883-1937), George Leslie Hunter (1877-1931)
and John
Duncan Fergusson (1874-1961), and following extended sojourns in Paris
and the
South of France, they took the groundbreaking innovations in pictorial
space and
colour by artists such as Cézanne, Van Gogh and Matisse to forge their
own path,
continuing to respond to French developments in a way unrivaled by
English
artists of the period. All of the sale’s offerings will be
exhibited at
Edinburgh’s Mansfield Traquair between Monday, 12 April and Wednesday,
14 April
and this exhibition is open to the public. The auction is expected to
bring in
the region of £3.2 million.
