拍品專文

The present work depicts the gate at Charleston House, the home of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant and meeting place for the Bloomsbury group. The two large urns, pictured, were made of cement fondu by Quentin Bell in 1956 and often contained pelargoniums and other such plants.

We are very grateful to Richard Shone for his assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
