Brand: Lyon & Turnbull
Price: 700 GBP
Availability: InStock

With Spring finally in the air, Lyon &amp; Turnbull is pleased to welcome you to its April 2025 iteration of the Contemporary Art sale.It is with great pleasure that we can announce that this auction contains the finest group of early works by John Byrne to have been seen on the market before (lots 81-90). The ‘Patrick’ era pieces all come from the same private collection - that of the descendants of Byrne’s local priest, Father Tom Jamieson of Renfrew Parish. Supporting Byrne at this early stage of his career, Jamieson amassed extraordinary examples of Byrne’s work – from large scale oils and incredibly rare imagery associated with the UK’s biggest musical acts of the 1960s, to intimate sketches of his children. The collection showcases the diversity of Byrne’s talent and his distinctive stylistic voice. Lyon &amp; Turnbull are proud to present these museum-quality pieces to the market for the first time.Further small groups and collections also characterise the sale; from a selection of works by the artistic Morrocco family, Alberto, Leon and Jack; through Paolozzi and his work in collage, print and sculpture; to a fine grouping of works by Eardley’s friend and protégée, Lil Neilson. We are also proud to feature work by the late Jack Vettriano – a titan of modern Scottish painting.Typically eclectic, the sale contains the usual span of periods from post-war to the present, across media from oil to print, and representing genres from realism to abstraction. Hopefully there is something for everyone!Buyer's Guide:&nbsp;
