Modern British Art: A Selling Exhibition
Sale Overview
Across a century of shifting perspectives, artists in Britain and Ireland have continually redefined how art can capture a changing world. A Modern British and Irish Art Selling Exhibition celebrates this enduring spirit of innovation: a story told through colour, form and the pursuit of new ways of seeing.
At its centre is Euan Uglow’s Palm Tree, a meditation on precision, patience and the quiet tension between discipline and emotion. The sculptural lyricism of Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore reflects a post-war search for harmony between humanity and nature, while the expressive vitality of Frank Auerbach and Samuel Peploe reveals the pulse of a nation in creative transformation.
This exhibition reflects a conversation across generations. Themes of identity, landscape, abstraction and the human form intersect, charting how British artists have continually reimagined their world and reshaped the visual language of modern art.
