I used to escape to @WattsGallery as a Symbolist-obsessed history of art student. It was my hiding place. I shed a tear of joy when I saw how it is now. The Tuke exhibition was wonderful. Particularly ‘July Sun’ from 1913, an essay in how to model form with colour. Stunning.
An unusual, early piece of pioneering glass artist Sam Herman’s studio glass just sold at auction for £2,020 including premium! My prediction that Sam’s star is rapidly rising is becoming true, prices at this level are not unusual. But I still think it has much further to rise...
You know when you visit a major gallery and can’t help taking a sneaky peek at the work of an artist copying something famous? Here’s the amazing result of a Victorian artist. ‘The Return of Judith to Bethulia’, after Sandro Botticelli, for sale @dawsonsauctions tomorrow.
