IMPORTANT BIDDING INFORMATION
Each artwork shows a current bid and when that bid last changed. Because we are accepting bids online, by email, in person and over the phone we will be regularly updating the current bid with the highest bid placed by any of these methods. As the bidding deadline (4pm UK time on Sunday 9 March 2025) gets closer we will aim to update the current bid more frequently, but we aren't able to guarantee the current bid shown will reflect the highest bid, so please bear this in mind when bidding. If for any reason the website crashes or the phones are busy, please email us your bid, as long as we receive it before the deadline your bid will be included - make sure to include the item you wish to bid on and your bid please.
Please make sure you have read our bidding disclaimer before bidding. If you place a bid, you will be returned to the the main auction page if your bid is successfuly submitted. If in doubt, please give us a ring on 01227 281174.
Once the auction has ended, winning bidders will be contacted via email with an invoice and payment can be made online, over the phone or in person.
If you are unable to collect artwork we are happy to package the artwork for delivery, but you will need to organise the courier after the auction has completed and this may not be appropriate for some items.
Happy bidding!
A signed copy of Canal Linocuts and 5 original lino prints from the book by Eric Gaskell
Book is A5, prints are all A4
Eric Gaskell left art college in 1980 with two scholarships and since then has continued working in the creative industries; painting, printing, illustrating and teaching. He has exhibited work in one-man and group shows in America, Canada, Belgium, Spain, Ireland and throughout the UK as a painter and printmaker. For Gaskell good draftsmanship is the key and when combined with strong composition and colour becomes the linchpin of his work. His recent work has used Greek & Roman myth as allegorical hooks that have allowed him to play with composition, pattern and colour. The seascape is a dominant trope in his work, these seascapes come from drawings made, memories recollected and complete flights of fancy. His printmaking preference is linocut as the colour processes used, the textures and physical mark- making suit his working methods. He revels in the immediacy of linocut that in truth can take many weeks to produce.
Gaskell is a member of the Society of Graphic Fine Art, the Printmakers Council and the Royal Birmingham Society of Arts. He is mentioned in many publications and has work in UK public collections as well as many private collections around the world.
Bidding is now closed.
