The sale includes the residual pictures from the collection of a Lady, of which the tour de force is the highly important impressionistic rendition of “The North Sea” by Laurence Stephen Lowry (1887-1976). Other key works from the estate include two further drawings by L S Lowry “The Pond” and “Man Taken Ill”, each representing diverse periods of the artist’s oeuvre.
Further works of note include a Henry Moore bronze, "Maquette for Warrior with Shield" (1952-53), a collection of works from the family of the artist Paul Maze (1887-1979), a good selection of works by Northern artists such as Norman Cornish, Tom McGuinness, Brian Shields “Braaq”, Joe Scarborough, Peter Brook, and celebrated Modern British artists such as Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe and Montague Dawson.
