Roseberys' November Prints & Multiples auction presents an impressive selection of works by late 19th and early 20th-century masters alongside bluechip pieces at accessible prices, spearheaded by two notable private collections.
The distinguished Sue Clive MBE Collection features an original Picasso lithograph, Femme Assise, 1924—one of only 50 made— along with four powerful works by Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson and an exceptional Samuel Palmer etching from 1857. Clive, a pioneering figure in UK gallery education and a knowledgeable collector from the 1970s to the 2020s, forged personal connections with many artists, and her collection includes unique artist dedications.
Lot 39: Pablo Picasso, Spanish 1881-1973, Femme Assise, 1924
A second private UK collection showcases remarkable modern works by British and European masters such as Sir Muirhead Bone, Stanley William Hayter, Ben Nicholson, Victor Pasmore, and Gino Severini.
Lot 203: Gino Severini, Italian 1883-1966, La Danseuse, 1958
A selection of American works demonstrate the intertwinement of 20th century print making, music and celebrity culture. Two hand-embellished giclée prints by Bob Dylan will be going under the hammer, as well as a rare 1972 Warhol and Richard Bernstein silkscreen portrait of Dana Gillespie, originally designed as a potential album cover for her album Ain’t Gonna Play No Second Fiddle. David Bowie, who shared a personal and professional relationship with Gillespie, originally wrote the song Andy Warhol for her but released it first on Hunky Dory.
"This auction offers collectors the rare opportunity to acquire works by masters such as Dalí, Picasso and Edvard Munch at accessible prices. Spanning multiple decades and mediums—including lithographs, etchings, screenprints, and sculptures—this sale is positioned to appeal to a broad spectrum of art lovers," commented Ed Plackett, Head of Prints & Multiples.
