PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATE OF L.S. LOWRY
We are delighted to be offering a selection of paintings and drawings from the Estate of L.S. Lowry. This is a unique opportunity for collectors to acquire works directly from the artist’s ownership, which have been on long term loan to museums and galleries since the artist’s death. This selection represents outstanding works from all periods of the artist's career, which encompass Lowry’s favourite themes. Many works were executed during a period when he actively travelled around to his favourite parts of the British Isles after his retirement from the Pall Mall Property Company in 1952. The Lancashire coastline, Welsh valleys and lakes, vignettes of Ireland, together with his cast of northern characters, inspired and stimulated him to continue to paint and draw for the rest of his life. Some of these works have only been displayed to the public while being on loan to The Lowry, and we look forward to showing these works to a wider audience.
