PROPERTY FROM THE ESTATES OF L.S. LOWRY AND THE LATE CAROL ANN LOWRYWe are delighted to be offering a selection of paintings and drawings from the Estate of L.S. Lowry and the Estate of Carol Ann Lowry, to whom he gifted and bequeathed the pictures. This is a unique opportunity for collectors to acquire works directly from the artist’s ownership, which have been on long term loan to museums and galleries since the artist’s death. This selection represents outstanding works from all periods of the artist's career, which encompass Lowry’s favourite themes. Within this group are a number of exceptionally strong portraits, including the iconic Ann in a Red Jumper and the striking Portrait of a Boy. Works in the collection range from the early works of the 1920s to those which were executed during a period when he actively travelled around his favourite parts of the British Isles after his retirement from the Pall Mall Property Company in 1952. These locations, as well as the cast of northern characters, inspired and stimulated him to continue to paint and draw for the rest of his life. Some of these works have only been displayed to the public while being on loan to The Lowry, and we look forward to showing them to a wider audience.
