Footnote
Note: Rarely do artists display virtuosity in multiple mediums, but Goudie was perceived by many as possessing equal skill in sculpture as in painting. It was a facet of his practice from his earliest days as a GSA student. The work offered here, ‘Le Reveil’, which depicts his wife Mainee, is one of a series of six bronzes produced in the 1970s. As with his paintings, this work manages the difficult feat of being both true to its era whilst tangibly recalling earlier art historical traditions.
