Title: Composition Artist: Georges Mathieu (born 1921) Signed and inscribed Lower Right. Date 1964 Medium: Pen and Ink. Size [Metric]: 22 x 27 cm. With frame:35 x 39 cm. Size [Imperial]: 8 1/2 in. x 10 1/2 in With Frame: 13 1/2 x 15 1/2 in. Condition: Very good. Price: £1,250 The colour of this drawing is paler than in the majority of the photos. The inscription appears to read "For Eddy with Love". A typed note on the back indicated the provenance as Gimpel Fils - November 1964. I followed it up and showed the work to Gimpel Fils who were confidant of its authenticity and kindly obtained Mathieu's own confirmation. I will provide either a note from Mathieu himself or (given his age and some infirmity) a letter from Gimpels Fils proving authenticity. Georges Mathieu Mathieu began to paint shortly after graduating from the University of Lille. He then spend a few years teaching including an appointment as a Professor at the American University in Biarritz before devoting himself to art. He was remarkably successful. His works are included in collections in France: and elsewhere in: email: patrick@worksofart.org.uk

Title: Mirror Artist: P. Bollinger. Signed Lower Right in pencil. Date: 1940s? Medium : Pen and Ink. Condition: Good though with slight creasing. Size [Metric]: 30 x 24cm. With frame: 59 x 50.5 cm. Size [Imperial]: 5 x 14.5 in. With Frame: 11 x 20.5 in. Price: £450[pair]. A wonderfully detailed and attractive work, I know nothing of the artist and wonder if it was drawn for a fashion magazine. The only colour is that the subject has red lips with, if you look at the original closely, deep green earrings. The original mount was poor so it has been re-mounted into its original oak frame which has a narrow gold slip insert. email: patrick@worksofart.org.uk |

Title: Red Square and the Forbidden City Artist: David Hockney RA Medium: Lithograph on paper. No. 24 of 1000 Signed: Signed in pencil Lower Right and Inscribed "82" Date: 1982 Size [Metric]: 49 x 54 cm . With Frame: 69.5 x 73 cms. Size [Imperial]: 19 x 21 1/2 in. With Frame: 27 x 28 1/2 in. Condition: Good Price: £950 One of the earliest of the run (24/1000) this signed lithograph is in the shape of an inverted "T" and in its original "floating frame" - glazed both back and front. Whilst this has its attractions it does make the work very difficult to photograph! I used a background that I hoped would mean that shadows would not show. Unhappily they do but they are only shadows! David Hockney RA (1937 - ) |
