MODERN MADE: Modern & Post-War Art, Design & Studio Ceramics

Sale number: 618&nbsp;The multi-discipline sale of modern and contemporary art, design and craft posted £800,000*, striking a chord with clients for whom 2020 has been a year to focus on the home.<blockquote>“At this difficult moment, some collectors do have extra disposable income and more time to devote to their passion” said Head of Sale Philip Smith . “This type of sale is a perfect arena to starting a new collection, further their interest in the fields or look for an investment for the future.”</blockquote>Important works from across the Modern British canon provided some of the high notes, headlined at £25,000* by The Red Curtain, a key Camden Town school work by William Ratcliffe (1870-1955). Dated to c.1916 - and included in The London Group held that year at the Goupil Gallery - this heavily impastoed oil shares many compositional similarities to The Artist’s Room, Letchworth in The Tate Gallery collection. Both works are thought to depict the Arts and Crafts style sitting room of 102 Wilbury Road in the new garden city of Letchworth - the home of fellow artist Stanley and Signe Parker. Ratcliffe and Parker (whose father was one of the architects of Letchworth) met while students at the Manchester School of Art.Sir Cedric Morris, continued his market purple patch when The Atlas Mountains, Morocco doubled hopes at £24,375*. The artist-plantsmen is best known for his vibrant botanical studies painted in his beloved Suffolk but this landscape was painted sometime between 1918 and 1926 during a winter trip away. Each year Cedric Morris and his partner Arthur Lett-Haines closed the East Anglian School of Painting and Drawing they ran from Benton End between March and October in order to travel abroad. This painting ha been given by the artist to Professor Bullock of the Old Rectory, Fen Ditton, Cambridgeshire.A new addition to the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of Howard Hodgkin's work is the 1981 study Untitled (After Lunch). This initialled and dated work on Arches paper, a print overpainted in oil and gouache, had been given to the sculptor Jean Gibson (1927-1991) by Hodgkin in 1981. After the Howard Hodgkin Estate helped to authenticate and catalogue this lot, it commanded £18,750*.The MODERN MADE series of sales celebrate the significant outpouring of artistic creativity seen throughout the decades of the 20th century across a range of mediums from ceramics to jewellery.<blockquote>“The format - a showcase for the best of Modern Art across multiple disciplines - has proved incredibly popular, thought provoking and inspirational to clients. I would defy anyone not to find something of interest within the exhibition - and the results bear this out”, commented Philip Smith.</blockquote>A total of 1381 bidders registered for the sale - around 1200 of the choosing to bid live online across four bidding platforms. Buyers from the UK, the US, continental Europe and Australia took part.
