Discover the work of the New Glasgow Boys Steven Campbell and Peter Howson with our Head of Contemporary & Post-War Art, Charlotte Riordan, as she introduces two works that featured in our January 2022 Contemporary & Post-War Art // Prints & Multiples auction - 'The Pool Player, 1985' by Steven Campbell and Peter Howson's 'Nijinsky'.
Characterised by competitive bidding, strong results and a high selling rate, our Contemporary & Post-War Art sales are among our most popular auctions. Held three times a year in our Scottish saleroom, highlights are also regularly exhibited in our London gallery. Our strong private client base and excellent international marketing reach has seen these sales grow into flagships of our company.
Encompassing works by both emerging and internationally regarded contemporary artists and sculptors, we have achieved top prices for household names including John Hoyland (a world record), Bridget Riley, Eduardo Paolozzi (a world record for a sculpture), Terry Frost, Nicholas Party, Alison Watt and Callum Innes. Regularly featured local favourites include John Bellany and the ‘New Glasgow Boys’ Peter Howson, Ken Currie, Steven Campbell, as well as John Byrne and Alasdair Gray.
