“Woman with a Sewing Machine”, a rare early lithograph made by a 17-year-old David Hockney, is to lead the Modern and Contemporary Art Sale on 15th June. The lithograph, which is one of approximately five proof versions of this unpublished print, is being sold by the descendants of Hockney’s school friend and fellow artist David George Fawcett (1935-1973). One of the other proof copies is held in the collection of the Tate.
The sale will also include a group of four works by mining artist Tom McGuinness. The works were purchased directly from the artist by lifelong friend of the artist Sidney Lockey, the pair having first met at school in Witton Park.
Also on offer will be works by the likes of Anne Isabella Brooke, John Hoyland, Damien Hirst and Philip Naviasky.
